• #46: Many of our services are rooted in ¡®place¡¯ - whether it be the Land Registry¡¯s ¡®record of who owns what¡¯, through to the Environment Agency¡¯s flood alerts, and DCLG¡¯s work on flood recovery¡­ to Defra mapping with farmers, or the use of postcodes as part of Individual Electoral Registration. Or DfID¡¯s aid maps. There¡¯s long been really good map developments in a large number of government organisations, developing really high quality solutions. We also publish a huge range of spatial data, in a variety of different places and formats. Now we need to bring those skills and services together, focus on user needs, to deliver better business outcomes. Noise quality and air quality - joined up information on environment that can¡¯t

• #48: We¡¯ve got some great workshop sessions this afternoon, I hope that you¡¯ll all get to at least one. We¡¯re running each of the four sessions twice, so you can mix and match. There are two workshops looking at user needs across government - the first with Alex Coley looking at sharing government information and making it reusable, the second with Angela Jackson and Emily Ball looking at more transactional or interactive services. Hitesh Patel and Andrew Trigg are leading a session on the business opportunities geospatial services might provide to departments. And lastly Paul Downey and some friends will be talking about the technology that underpins these services. If you¡¯ve got something you¡¯ve built and would like to demo, take your laptop along - show the thing!
• #49: We¡¯d love for this to lead to more sharing, more collaboration and joining-up, less duplication and less barriers¡­ We¡¯ve seen at events like TeaCamp and GovCamp that bringing together like-minded, enthusiastic people, where there¡¯s some coffee and wifi, can create a bit of magic. We¡¯d like to sow the seeds for something like that here - to make sure that this isn¡¯t just a one-off¡­ For that to happen, we need you to get involved - this shouldn¡¯t be an event where you get talked to for hours on end. Everything is a conversation - talk about what you know, ask questions when you don¡¯t, tweet your thoughts, take some email addresses and phone numbers, blog about it¡­ GET INVOLVED
