Open data and mapping – an idea 09/01/2012

Just before Christmas we had an email pop into our Digital Birmingham inbox. It was from somebody who is setting up their own business in Birmingham. They asked us

“I was wondering if Birmingham City Council has a comprehensive list of the city centre postcodes so I could easily upload this to the admin area of my website, so when the customer places an order this will be accepted/rejected depending on the postcode.”

Digital Engagement Policy Presentations 19/04/2010

Last week I gave a talk on the Government’s response to the consultation paper on Policy options for geographic information from Ordnance Survey. This was the first of a series of three presentations being held on consecutive Monday evenings at Moseley Exchange.

Tonight, Michael Grimes, aka Citizensheep, from the Citizenship Foundation will be talking about the Hansard Society‘s Report on Digital Citizens and Democratic Engagement. The evening kicks off at the tolerably early time of 6.30pm and you can either sign up to attend on Eventbrite (just £3 for non-members), or just turn up. Bear in mind that if too many people turn up we might not buy enough biscuits, so be warned. More – Digital Engagement Policy Presentations

Digital Birmingham is a Birmingham City Council initiative and part of a city wide strategic partnership of more than 40 public, private and voluntary organisations
