Hi all, Recently Minister Howlin launched another public consultation on June 15th with regards to the strategy around Irelands Open Data Initiative.
There are 2 main documents for review under the consultation, both available at this link - http://www.per.gov.ie/open-data/ I have started formulating a consultation submission which is OSM Ireland focused i.e. we are concerned about licencing, we are primarily interested in geodata etc. However I have given answers to all the consultation questions regardless, because why not. If nobody objects, I would like the finished submission to be considered as a response from OSM Ireland as a whole. You can find the submission document here - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bR9KwaP9IgBpVm_btn8EOa0j3rIe2SPcQjosmU1ZkOo/edit?usp=sharing I have set it so anyone can comment, rather than anyone can edit simply because it'll become very messy and difficult to track if there are 10-20 people editing. I hope many of you will take this opportunity to contribute to this as the process around setting up open data from a government perspective is at a crucial stage where the decisions made over the next few months will likely be the foundation for things to come for many years and there's a lot of good data sitting on govt. servers that I would hope we could make use of down the road. The response is due no later than July 15th so I would like to leave this run for the next week to 10 days, make any changes suggested through your comments / feedback and then share a final draft at which point, anyone who wishes to, can add their name as a contributing author, before finally submitting it on or around the 14th July. It should be noted that the consultation is open for anyone to provide feedback so if you wish to submit a response personally you can do that too. Thanks, Dave _______________________________________________ Talk-ie mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ie
