Hi David,

Thanks for introducing yourself and the work you are doing. It's great to hear about the progress being made towards open data at Stirling Council, and I'm looking forward to learning more about what you are doing in the coming months. Do let me know if there is anything that Open Knowledge Scotland can do to help.

Best regards,

Ewan

My background is as a data analyst, for the past 15 years I've worked with enormous amounts of content, including but not limited to: finding creative ways to analyse, re-categorise, cross-categorise or re-package input data sets of any size or shape into outputs of any specification in any format.

Open Data will certainly be a part of that, and I look forward to working on various Open Data initiatives over the coming months / years.  I am hoping that we can have discussions here, that will lead to my further enlightenment regarding the mysteries of Open Data...
