MyData Interna

This week I started to additionally monitor the #cities channel. The local hub MyData Germany went through the approval process and the local hub MyData South Korea was renamed to MyData Korea to cover a bigger region. Please let @Ansku Tuomainen know if you have a submission for the MyData monthly newsletter. And there were a number of excellent articles posted this week I highly recommend for #reading!

On a meta-level I got the interesting feedback that the Weekly Digest is like an 'adventure game with a lot of hidden features'. I consider this as a very appreciative feedback - nevertheless, through a few subtle changes I hope to make it more clear now how to navigate through the provided information:

  • click on the MyData icon to view the post in Slack,
  • show all posts of a user by clicking on the username, or
  • click on a #tag to show related posts.

Please continue to send my feedback either via email, on Slack @Christoph Fabianek, or talk to me at the MyData conference next week!
