It's good when we get external people using Github issues with us on projects. It makes it so much easier having each issue/bug/thing as its own thread rather than having endless back and forth emails to trawl through to piece things together.

If they've not really used Github before it can often be daunting for people. Especially the idea that other people can see the discussions as something develops. There can be institutional fears about 'being wrong' in public. For me it is a strength to be transparent and for people to see the workings. It builds trust.

Hey hey it's Friday! Just a reminder this survey is still open to choose a date for a SW Gov beach meetup. We'll be meeting at Exmouth Beach as it has good transport and is relatively accessible (for a beach). Families welcome! #OneTeamGov #SouthWestIsBest https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScSIq4b0nK9joAJIKFp4utv4JLwuWYWCmAAHw8q7ARd_i1gTw/viewform?usp=send_form

DoES Liverpool, the maker and coworking space that I'm a member of, runs a draw every 3 months to offer a free 6 month desk membership and free 6 month workshop membership to anyone who might otherwise struggle to afford it.
The aim is to give people a chance to get their ideas off the ground.
More details here:

Please take a look if you're in Liverpool and think you might benefit, and share with anyone who might be interested.

We’re trying to get a @ukhealthcamp going for this year, see if we can get the engine restarted!

Our biggest challenge is always finding a venue. Can you help us find a venue to support the event?

We have a venue specification here: https://ukhealthcamp.com/venue-specification
