Jon Bounds — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 10:02:25 +0000

I was interviewed some time ago over email by Paul Bradshaw for a series on people who had started or were running (hyper-) local blogs.

Jon Bounds — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 15:00:24 +0000

Good post from Si Whitehouse on some issues of public data release: "What will we do if members of the public form groups and use the newly open data to question the provision of services to marginalised groups?
