Short but great video of David Cameron on transparency and the right of people in the UK to Government data.
It looked like something might happen here when the previous crew talked about a Government CIO/CTO and setup the Innovation Taskforce talking shop.
Have any efforts started in the new Government? If so, by who? Not a snark, I genuinely want to know.
Most likely candidate is Phil Hogan, who’s been given the FG ‘NewERA’ plan as a brief. It’s where their ‘fixmystreet’ copy was published.Really depends on whether he wants to get into it though, since there’s no obvious brief for Open in the PFG.
Thanks John. My concern is that we’ll hear “we have to fix the economy first” about anything like this. It’s too important to long-finger.
