Substance, a local cooperative, are working to free local government and other data so that the information can get to the people who really need it. The project is called Plings and Steven Flower will be talking about about their experiences over the past two years and their plans for the next two years. Free software and freedom of data are the goals – but they have to jump through and negotiate a few hoops along the way!
*New Location*
The meeting will take place at the usual time, 7pm, at the Lass O’ Gowrie pub on Charles Street in Central Manchester. We will be located in the back room on the ground floor. As normal, there will be people around a little earlier (probably sampling the food and drinks on offer). Their website has full details of how to get there and the fine selection of food and drink on offer.
General information about Manchester Free Software meetings can be found on our meetings page.
