Brilliant timeline of open government data from Tim Davies.

"[At NCVO] we’ve been thinking about #opendata for a long time… Essentially, we’d like to see the sector match government in opening up what we’ve got so that society as a whole can realise the benefits of sharing and mashing data together and then visualising it. This space is our toe in the water to start pulling that together. We are going to start the ball rolling by putting up some of the data that we’ve collected or produced that we think has public value."

"A week of BBC features looking at the issues facing people with disabilities – Access All Areas – is getting under way."

"Shedworking is a daily updated guide for people who work in garden offices and other shedlike atmospheres."
-
"Garden offices are cheap, chic, eco-friendly and above all – there is no commute. Could shedworking be the way forward for workers looking for an office alternative?"

"A few weeks ago the Rt Hon Francis Maude MP and Nick Hurd MP wrote an open letter to ‘the sector’, published on the Cabinet Office website. In it, the Ministers invited whomever happened to read the letter to ‘be the key partners in building the Big Society.’ Read our tongue-in-cheek but highly pertinent response." Ha. Expect repurcussions for DSC soon. (via @patrickjbutler)
