I'm happy to finally introduce the new layout of the MyData Weekly Digest. When I started the digest in June I just threw some existing components from previous projects together and did not pay much attention on how to present the different bits and pieces. With the help from user @Tim and @Kata on Slack we created now a much more polished version and I hope you will enjoy it! If you find some glitches in the new version or have comments please don't hesitate to write me at mdwd(at)ownyourdata.eu.
In the MyData world planning for the MyData 2020 conferences already started and @Ansku Tuomainen asked for input on the monthly MyData newsletter.
