Weeknotes #4, December 9th, 2022

Brief headline-style weeknotes this week. It's been a busy one, and to be honest the editor forgot to remind people before this morning!

• Stuart has progressed the Warm Spaces catalogue and we now re-list 7084 warm spaces from 59 separate directories. We've shared this with various Leeds media outlets, and have been having some great chats with people online.
• Giles updated our reference data repository to include our cut down version of the latest ONS Postcode Directory.
• Giles and Stuart have also been progressing the Register of Members Financial Interest work for UK Parliament, and were delighted to have been mentioned (and thanked) in their weeknotes from last week. Thanks Michael!
• Kathryn and Ruby have hosted some new clients using our space to run innovation events: Arla Foods, NDL software, Freixenet Copestick. You could join them! Get in touch to enquire about hiring the innovation space.
• The Open Data Saves Lives AI in Healthcare session was really well attended. We saw our highest number of people registered yet, and heard about some great AI models. The recording is now online - watch this space for an upcoming blog post.
• Paul attended the Labour Party press conference at the University Of Leeds' Nexus innovation space.
• We're in the process of renewing our sponsorships. This week, we've been talking to TPXImpact.
• ...and finally... we're hiring! Are you a technical consultant with data and code skills, who would like to join our small but perfectly formed team? Watch this space - job vacancy coming soon!
