Hacking with - not hacking in should be something that people are encouraged to do in schools and workplaces. Nick Gruen at #rtiqld
Libraryhack getting a positive rap now. Well done to everyone who used the library data. You helped push the concept of open data. #rtiqld
Not just about making available but empowering people to use the data is an issue for libraries. #rtiqld
