We already do 😉 MT @MikePearsonNZ: #ogdBris11 With the consumerisation of ICT, perhaps us geeks can value-add ICT: Innovation & Collab Tech #
Cutler: because innovation is cumulative & combined info flows are vital to innovation (particularly free info flow). Interesting #OGDBris11 #

#OGDBris11 @DirDigEng: transparency of salaries, spending, contracts, tenders across all agencies even if hard, able to drill to 500 pounds #
Hah! @DirDigEng: after top paid UK public servants had salaries made public, more interest in greater transparency across board #OGDBris11 #
I can listen to @DirDigEng talk about great #gov20 examples all day. Very inspiring! Look forward to his talk going online #OGDBris11 #

Adobe: Accessibility important 4 all publishing. Didn't give much practical advice but I think ensuring all knowledge accessible v important #
Adobe: "Skills for tablet publishing just extensions of existing desktop publishing: layout, font, colour & space plus interactivity & time" #
Adobe tablet event: using government climate change plan as his demonstrator because it's "a good example & creative commons licensed" 🙂 #
Folio: Adobe file format coming. Not sure what it is but looks like content for app. Not a standard yet, say they will open it. Thoughts? #
"The big thing now (with tablets/mobile computing) is gaming". A pertinent point, games devel industry is HUGE. At Adobe tablet event. #
Quick tip, don't put your computer to sleep while music is playing playing. Waking it up at a conference is quite amusing for those around. #
