Great new post from Local Digital UK Gov about their Future Councils Pilot : dluhcdigital.blog.gov.uk/2024/04/02/fut…

I've finally finished my blog post about digital services in local government responding to James Moulding and Theo Blackwell MBE : medium.com/desiderium-sci….

Hey Duolingo . Your site just lost all of the progress I've made today twice in a row. Are you having issues over there?

Hey Sachin Savur / Sameer Aiyar-Majeed. In the latest #WhitehallMonitor in the section on Digital you mention the possibility of a 'a fully digital government mail service'. Can you please explain what that would be?

Hey Demos can you please let me know if this got passed on to the relevant people. It contains some things they may find useful. Thanks.

In other news, after a break of 18 months or so I appear to be back on Twitter. This is not a positive development.

Hey Demos 👋. I did a write up of this week's Collaborative Democracy Network event. bit.ly/CollabDemocrac… #CitizenWhitePaper

Hey Citizen Lab. I'm trying to reach Fraser Henderson about a discussion he had at this year's UKGovcamp about a potential #ParticipationCamp . Can you help?

In addition, I hope you're part of the new Collaborative Democracy Network from Demos.

Hey North Weald Airfield North Weald Airfield Museum we were walking near you today and saw what looked like a four-prop bomber with RAF roundels landing. Can you please let us know what it is was - it's been driving us crazy! Thanks.

Briefly back on twitter to let you know that @govbeers now exists to let you know about the in-person monthly meet-ups for government folks that Derek Alton Gavin Freeguard and I are organising.

Please follow if you're interested and RT this so other people can too. Thanks!

Friday evening Derek Alton is hosting a get-together at aPolitical for government folks previous and current for beers and chat. It's dominated by guys at the moment so if you're a woman who likes to chat about how to improve civic organisations please consider joining us.

Hi folks - if you follow me can you please RT the original tweet below. Thanks!

The Innovation Lab is hiring! We're looking for an experienced QA Engineer to join our team to work on products like Journey - our service for supporting young people in care.

100% this but, after the obvious ones, we'd going to have to spend some time agreeing what they are.

I wonder if there's an opportunity to test this out to see what would happen (cc Simon Manby)?

That's it. I can no-longer in good conscience continue using a website owned by this person. My account will remain live but from now own I will only use it when it's the only route to customer services. You can find me at @[email protected].

I am allowed to be a bear. I am a bear.

👋 - hi digital folks. Can we get some RTs for this tweet to extend its reach please. Thanks!

It was great to spend time with Sarah Drummond this week sketching out ideas for how we might support the design community around digital resilience as an approach. #safetybydesign

Have just added a note in my personal work to-do list to reschedule the meeting about meetings. Starting to wonder if I might be the bad guy in the movie...

Ooooo! I hope I'm also getting one for backing the film!
