Great! So much happening in #Aberdeen (and elsewhere)! 👍
Looking forward to seeing the #opendata that comes from this and what the community can build with it.

Travelling home after an informative #Interreg @SCORE_NSR Water Challenge group meeting @AberdeenCC
Community engagement at Peterculter Golf Club for feedback on the CSaaS flooding app being developed by @UniofBradford and a chance to discuss #smartcity and #opendata solutions.
Great use of (should-be) #opendata to build useful new things.
Just a pity that the actual open data is SO out of date and neglected.
Building the next generation of coders and data wranglers in #Aberdeen *with your help!*

We're starting new classes for young coders in late summer. We'll soon open up registration.
We need your company to help by sponsoring the classes or by donating laptops that we can reuse.

Please get in touch let us know what you can offer!
Very good observations.
Recently at a talk, a member of the audience said 'this is really just humanities people like you now being scared by us technologists'. He was, in a sense, completely right. The world is being completely re-shaped by a small group of technically capable people.
A brief thread.

So much potential from this programme:

Great new location!

Our July Data Meetup will be our first in our new home, the #ONETechhub.
Two talks:
➡️ Sharing Your Health Data
➡️ Air Quality as a citizen #datascience project.
And beer 🍻, pizza 🍕 and great networking!

Great. And this is all #opendata.
With 100s sensors we'll have 84m+ data points per year for the city.
The official sensors publish 157,000 per annum in total.

One for @airaberdeen to consider.
The Birmingham street with the most polluting cars REVEALED birminghammail.co.uk/news/mi… #ddj
I think this is based on a #FOI release of data on licensed cars by CO₂ emission band, as DVLA doesn't regularly publish that by postcode district. (Why?) gov.uk/government/statistica… #opendata
Great to hear! You're welcome. Keep up the good work!

Honourable mentions for @marinemaps , @opengovscot, @ScotStat, @joycedalgleish, @hopperst23, @datalabscot and others. All doing great work.
Our @watty62 has been looking again at #opendata in #Scotland.
He thinks 95% of it has yet to see the light of day.
And we've launched a new Slack channel for the open data community in Scotland.

"Boundaries, not barriers." A concrete example from #Scotland of how getting #opendata publishing wrong stifles innovation and creates overheads for data scientists and developers.

Mr.G's, you mean!!
Great #data performance at #ODISummit from Mr Gee.
I don't think he is associated with the legendary 1990s #Aberdeen nightclub, My G's.

So true!
"a lot of #opendata publishing still relies heavily on disruptive mavericks" #ODISummit
Very true, sadly. Particularly in Scottish public sector. It needs to change!
