UKGovOSS - Open Source Government CommunityPublic Sector Forums

UKGovOSS.org last week welcomed our 100th member.  See our full list of members here.

For us this is a real milestone in the growth in the community - and pretty remarkable given the network launched less than a month ago.  Thanks to everyone for their support so far.

That said, we know we have a great, great deal more work to do to reach out across the public sector and further afield. 

One of our current priorities is building links with (and between) open source communities of interest, organisations and individual pockets of activity.  We’ve had several encouraging developments here which we’ll give you a full update on shortly.  Advice and suggestions on building the community are always welcome.

PS: If you’re already a member of UKGovOSS.org, why not invite a friend?

Firstly, apologies to all that I’ve not been particularly active lately on the UKGovOSS website - it’s been a busy few months and my attentions have had to be elsewhere, but I’m now back in the saddle.

Over the last few weeks we’ve been pretty busy behind the scenes, working on the UKGovOSS platform, bug-testing and preparing new content.

 The community will be officially launched to the world later this week (Thursday 6 August), along with (finally!) the results of our survey on Open Source use in Local Government, which were previewed at our conference back in April.

So sorry again for the wait, we’re getting there.  Any feedback, comments, or suggestions you have are greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
