It’s been really good to read all the positive feedback about our Manchester event (thank you!) along with all the useful suggestions about how we should build on this.
One thing defintely borne out in the feedback and also the Open Source Survey was the need for more forum-type events like this in the future. (Guess there’s still nothing like meeting face-to-face).
With this in mind, we’re already thinking about the next event which we could hold later this year subject to demand. We’d like to get some ideas initially about what people would like to hear and talk about, as well as practical things like location, date etc and of course, whether you’d be interested in coming along. Use the forum here to post suggestions and kick off ideas.
To start things off, should we extend the event beyond local government into the wider public sector, or continue to keep it strictly LG-focused?
