[okfn-discuss] Meeting notification: Help Us Free London's Data

Fri Oct 9 08:49:55 UTC 2009

Thought readers of this list, particularly London-based ones, would be 
interested in an event that the Greater London Authority are holding on 
Oct 24: Help Us Free London's Data:

http://freelondonsdata.eventbrite.com/

 From the event description:
"The Greater London Authority is currently in the process of scoping 
London’s DataStore. Initially we propose to release as much GLA data as 
possible and to encourage other public agencies in London to do the same 
and we'd like your help!
We want the input of the developer community from the outset prior to 
making any decisions on formats or platform. We would therefore like to 
invite interested developers to City Hall so that we can talk to you 
about what we want to do, get your views, and seek your input on the 
best way to deliver for London.
On the day we'll be running a requirements specification workshop and a 
high level technical design session to explore how we might do this in a 
way that makes sense for the end users - you."

I'm not involved in the event, but have met with the person organizing 
it, and they seem committed to it, and also seem keen to get the 
licensing right (i.e. properly open for reuse).

Cheers
C
