To be fair, there was a note on the OPSI site hwww.opsi.gov.uk/forums/forums/forum.asp?forumid=8 but I guess that reaches the already-interested. Bit like this blog, really. Er, yes.

Historic, even, in the context of the way government goes about building web services. I think we emerged with an expertly informed consensus on how to design, build and run a web channel to gather and assess requests for the re-use of public sector information. OPSI is running two more events to help shape the project. The second is on 18 January, held jointly with JISC (<http ://www.jisc.ac.uk/events/2008/01/powerofinfo.aspx>), will engage with the academic world. The third event, on 28 January will be run by Intellect (< <http://www.intellectuk.org/>>), the IT trade association. I'll report more fully later. But in the meantime, thanks to OPSI's John Sheridan and Giorgia Meletsis for setting up the event and to everyone who gave up a rare sunny Saturday to enrich it.</http> And what a smashing event it turned out to be.
