I’ve been a little slow on posting this week, but I’ve been running around the Southeast of England on various work-related projects. I did however make it up to Oxford last night to see Rufus Pollock of the Open Knowledge Foundation give a keynote entitled “Open Knowledge and Componentization” at Oxford Geek Night 5. I had to leave early, otherwise I would have tried to catch Marc Metten of Mapstraction to talk about open geo data and the Open Data Commons tools.
Other interesting events coming up in Oxford that I hope to attend include…
…and two British Computer Society (Oxfordshire branch) events:
How Big Business learned to love Virtual Worlds, with Roo Reynolds talking about IBM, Second Life and other virtual worlds.
What’s Hot, where a guest panel of industry experts run BCS’ own Dragon’s Den.
On this last one, the prize is £100, which won’t get you very far in any business startup (unless you are selling lemonade on the streetcorner), though apparently serious investors will be present and looking for ideas to fund.
