"We're always looking for new ways of making it as easy as possible for developers and website owners to access data held by Lichfield District Council in ways that they want - allowing you to remix, mashup and share data easily.

Everyblock's Code is Open-Sourced - O'Reilly Radar - http://radar.oreilly.com/2009...
"The code for Adrian Holovaty's Everyblock has been released. The open-sourcing of the site's system were apart of the Knight News Challenge Program. Everyblock is a very impressive site that aggregates and geocodes local data -- news, crime, fire, restaraunt inspections and reviews - and then lets users define their interests down to the block-level."

"This weekend ChangeCamp comes to Vancouver. If you are interested definitely sign up early. I'll be there of course. But better still Shari Wallace (Director of IT for the City of Vancouver) and I will be running a session together from 3-4 pm to brainstorm what data the City of Vancouver should prioritize on opening up. It's an opportunity for coders to suggest what might help them build the local apps they've always wanted to build."
