Looking forward to this public tech event with House of Commons staff, Wednesday in Ottawa: eventbrite.ca/e/opening-up-c…

Take a look at ourcommons.ca, Parliament’s great new real-time mobile site targeted to people on the Hill

openparliament dot ca: improving constantly, tweeting about those improvements every year and half

Also, hey, lots of site changes since the last update here: developer-friendly data, new bill pages, a visual redesign.

Open Parliament has sprouted shiny clickable new word-pictures in all kinds of places. Read more: openparliament.ca/#n31

It's early days still for @Open_13: don't expect anything shiny for a while. But it's an important project. Follow the Twitter account.

Worked with @SunFoundation and @opennorth to lay the groundwork for @Open_13: reusable data and friendly websites for provincial Parliaments

I'm testing a shiny new email alert system. Get email whenever something happens in Parliament matching your interests. openparliament.ca/alerts/

Missed-vote league table for the C-38 sleepover: docs.google.com/spreadsheet/…

Also! Our new search has that sweet new-search-engine smell. I worked hard on it. Check it out, & please send feedback! openparliament.ca/search/

I'm very happy to be adding coverage of House committees (since 2006) to openparliament.ca. See openparliament.ca/committees… or your MP's page.

"Committee" is the third dullest word in the English language. But House committees are often the most interesting part of Parliament.

We all think of postal codes as public information. But they're not: they're expensive, jealously guarded data. It's time to set them free.

Canada Post wants you to know: if you share lists of postal codes to, say, help people find their MPs, they'll sue you. geocoder.ca/?sued=1
