Weeknotes 2024-W47

A few weeks with no weeknotes! Finally getting round to it late on a Friday evening, so this one might be a bit short.

Good, if slow, progress on publishing the Bradford 2025 data. Volunteering data is now nearly ready to go. In preparing for this, I've developed some minimal data governance which identifies corporate risk and seeks sign-off from key personnel. I've also made links with the communications team, who have expressed concern that going public will mean they have a more difficult job. My counter argument is typically that people would criticise in any case, and having the facts in the form of data should make things easier. We've committed to getting the data published next week. Watch this space!

Meanwhile, I've been working with colleagues at Open Innovations to plan the next releases. Some minor progress on technical adapters, which will mean that pulling the data is easy to do.

Not a lot of other work, although I did develop a schema for publishing event lists as part of some work I did to help publish the Hebden Bridge Picture House listings on the What's On Hebden Bridge site. Planning to do the same for The Trades Club.

Links, in no particular order:

• A very clever design for content responsive layouts using modern CSS.
• A list of articles on inclusive design
• The Weird One prosocial web, where you can set up a home on the web away from the big social media networks. Mine is here: https://giles.dri.ng/
• A list of European hosted alternatives to US services.
• Some guidance on more efficient GitHub workflows
