Thought readers of this list, particularly London-based ones, would be interested in an event that the Greater London Authority are holding on Oct 24: Help Us Free London's Data:
http://freelondonsdata.eventbrite.com/ From the event description: "The Greater London Authority is currently in the process of scoping London’s DataStore. Initially we propose to release as much GLA data as possible and to encourage other public agencies in London to do the same and we'd like your help! We want the input of the developer community from the outset prior to making any decisions on formats or platform. We would therefore like to invite interested developers to City Hall so that we can talk to you about what we want to do, get your views, and seek your input on the best way to deliver for London. On the day we'll be running a requirements specification workshop and a high level technical design session to explore how we might do this in a way that makes sense for the end users - you." I'm not involved in the event, but have met with the person organizing it, and they seem committed to it, and also seem keen to get the licensing right (i.e. properly open).
