Free Our Data: the blog

A Guardian Technology campaign for free public access to data about the UK and its citizens


February 10: come to the public debate on free data, government agencies and copyright

On Tuesday 10 February at 5pm, the think tank Policy Exchange will be hosting a debate entitled Free Our Data? Government Agencies and Copyright, in Westminster.

Speakers will include the Technology Guardian editor, Charles Arthur, a co-founder of the Free Our Data campaign; Adam Afriyie, shadow minister for innovation; and Ed Parsons, geospatial technologist at Google and former chief technology officer at Ordnance Survey. We’re hopeful that there will be at least one other speaker, from the public sector.

If you would like to attend, email events@policyexchange.org.uk. (You’ll discover the precise venue then!)

    So does this mean that Free Our Data won’t be at Voice09 in Birmingham on 10th and 11th to try to encourage the third sector to push the public sector to share?
