Sorry, it's Friday and my eyes are tired, you meant a different kind of free to the one I thought you meant, sorry.

Subject: Are you going to Rewired Culture, Saturday 27th March 2010?
DCMS and Rewired State are holding a free event in London on March 27.
It's a hackday and an unconference, and it's not just for geeks. I've
copied a bit of their blurb and links below. I'd be there like a shot
if I was free. If any of you do go, it'd be ace if you reported back
and let the list know how you found it.
Cheers, Mia
See http://rewiredstate.org/culture or
http://www.culture.gov.uk/working_with_us/6644.aspx for more.
How do we encourage links between data repositories such as museums,
broadcasters and the wider community like data.gov.uk or the "London
Datastore"? How do we ensure that the exciting work already underway in
a number of organizations is shared more generally, so even smaller
bodies and SMEs can learn from best practice and find workable routes to
market? What are the cultural content business models for the 21st
century? How do creators, curators, developers and entrepreneurs work
together?
Rewired Culture has two strands - the first is a hackday bringing
together data owners, data users, developers and people with ideas to
see what they can create in a day. This builds on the very successful
Rewired State events held in 2009.
The second strand is a halfday unconference style event starting at
midday and running in parallel with the hackday for data owners,
entrepreneurs, data users and communites to discuss business models,
funding mechanisms and challenges.
We will be encouraging constant communication between the two strands
because by the end of the day we want the event to have come up with a
number of projects that people want to take foreward on technical or
business grounds, preferably both!
Who should attend?
The event is open to all. If you are a developer, interested in data use
or reuse, a data owner, someone who has an idea for an application using
cultural data, a member of a cultural institution, someone who relies on
public or private data for your business, an entrepreneur, someone who
is passionate about open data or access to culture, someone in
education, or someone who has taken part in previous hackdays.
