5 years ago I attended my first international open data conference as a @SchoolOfData fellow. It’s been 5 years of an amazing journey working with open data and getting to know an amazing global community. For many years to come!

:) @workbenchdata has become a staple when I do workshops on #DataLiteracy and working with data using @SchoolOfData's #DataPipeline. I've gotten great feedback for it from veterans to beginners who've never touched a spreadsheet. Do check it out at workbenchdata.com.

Revisiting a fantastic article by @paulbradshaw summarising the insights from diplomatic studies and applying them to #ddj → onlinejournalismblog.com/201… Very relevant to the VERIFY step of @SchoolOfData 's data pipeline, and gives grounding to what I'm teaching at @IjbaOfficiel
