I've updated the ckanext-datastorer extension on datagm.org.uk (and 
datagm.staging.ckanhosted.com) to the latest version, these datagm20 
activities should no longer appear.

Let me know if the activities keep appearing.

I could also clean the existing datagm20 activities from the database, 
but that would take a little more time.

I don't think this will fix the latest datasets list though, I'll have 
to investigate that further.

The activities are caused by the datastorer cron job, it runs every hour 
and checks all the resources on the site for updates (and if a resource 
has been updated, it updates the corresponding data in CKAN's 
datastore). There was a bug in the datastorer cron job that caused it to 
emit all these activity stream activities. It should be fixed in the 
latest version.
