Cabinet Office discussion channels on Open Source

Looks like a good place to keep abreast of ongoing discussion about open source and government policy:

"This dashboard is designed to help track online discussion about UK government's use of open source and open standards, based on results from Google News, Google Blog Search and Twitter search. These results are automatically generated based on keywords or the tag #ukgovOSS and the Cabinet Office is not responsible for the content of any link featured here."

Although exactly what these search results yield and the significance/influence of these channels remains to be seen....

Cheezy friends!

Rather than forwarding this .pps file presentation, I sucked it into my Google docs then used resulting embedded presentation thingy and stuck it here instead, to save you having to download and open it in some office app - neat eh?

Wot no Unicode copyleft symbol?!

After searching around - seems the Unicode folks never got round to adding a copyleft character, so next best thing was to find a reversed 'c' and stick it in brackets! To save you the bother of finding a reversed 'c' - here's one a made earlier - feel free to copy and use it - obviously!
