OpenIDEuroPython, Birmingham, UK, 30th June to 2nd July 2009
The Guardian recently released http://mps-expenses.guardian.co.uk/, a crowdsourcing application inviting members of the public to help dig through the 400,000 pages of MP expenses documents released by parliament. The application was developed in Django in just four and a half days and was deployed using EC2, both of which were firsts for the Guardian. This talk covered lessons learnt building and scaling the application, as well as larger lessons learnt about crowdsourcing in general.
