Are you an API person? Are there some APIs that you ❤️ and others that drive you 😠? If yes to any of the above, please take a minute to respond to (and share!) this quick anonymous survey. You're also welcome to share your thoughts and ideas on this thread...

Do you use an API? Do you run an API? Then I'd love to hear from you! I'm supporting the ONS with some work looking at the current API landscape and best practice (esp government, and esp stats) We have a short survey - v grateful for thoughts, and please share! www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/FISUES/

An excellent part of this, which is often missing from big data releases, is a small set of sample data in the same format. Let's you see and test the data without needing to manage huge files.

Premises in BDUK plans (England and Wales) www.gov.uk/government/p... big release of address-level data from Building Digital UK Data includes UPRNs and postcodes but not addresses. You can geocode the data using ONS's UPRN products geoportal.statistics.gov.uk #gigabit #telecoms #opendata

This data provides BDUK's current view of whether a premises has a current gigabit connection, whether there are future plans for a gigabit connection, as well as our plans to deliver to premises that we believe are not commercially viable. The data does not contain comprehensive information on which premises have historically been delivered by BDUK through vouchers, Gigahubs and Superfast. The data is designed to help technical users including broadband suppliers and local councils understand where BDUK plans to deliver and to improve the transparency about the contracts that we’ve signed under Project Gigabit.

Interesting use of linking data from different sources. Although there's a small number of organisations on the gender pay gap list that give their employee numbers as "Less than 250" (presumably reporting voluntarily?)

Thread on Jisc list indicates the ICO is using #genderpaygap returns to identify organisations that may be underpaying the #dataprotection fee www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wa-j... (UK) Only orgs with 250+ staff are required to report gender pay, so likely to be Tier 3. Good use of #opendata.

Hi We have just received a letter from the ICO (dated 27/9/24 signed Peter Whitehead). It contains this sentence. “Your organisation is listed on the gender pay gap report which is available at gov.uk therefore it is likely that your organisation will need to pay the higher tier fee of £2,900." and "To avoid a fine of up to £4,000, please ensure you register and pay by 18th October 2024. If you believe you are exempt, please let us know." As a registered charity we have routinely been paying £35 by direct debit, so this came as somewhat a surprise. I even retook the fee assessment test to be sure we had got our fee band correct. …

I'd like to chat with a few people working in local public bodies eg local authorities, NHS trusts, academy trusts, police forces, about working with local communities around data/digital stuff, and what kind of support would be helpful. Is that you or can you recommend someone?

Bluesky hive mind! Does anyone know of a decent, free or *very* cheap venue: - In SW1 (Whitehall/Westminster) - Fits c.40 people - Either A/V or good wifi (Idea is a monthly evening meet-up for people into public sector reform, UKGovCamp-y/OneTeamGov-y vibes, a couple of talks, chat, pizza etc)
