Hi all,

Hopefully the last cool thing for today: just discovered the following thanks to a tweet from @jwyg (Jonathan Gray of the Open knowledge Foundation) http://www.futureeverything.org/news/opendata1

"We were funded in November 2009 by the Manchester Innovation Investment Fund* to work to make Manchester the UK's first Open Data City."

There's a social media cafe happening on Tuesday in Manchester, at which one of the people behind this will be talking: http://socialmediamanchester.ning.com/events/social-media-cafe- february?rsvpConfirm=1 I plan to be there until I have to escape for Tuesday's board meeting - would be great if anyone else can come along too.

Mike
