This is the home repository for CTC24: Open in Practice, which ran Saturday 27th November 2021 and Sunday 28th November 2021. The Miro board of ideas and work captured concepts well CTC24 Miro Board.
On Saturday we had 11 participants working on 3 challenges. On Sunday we had 11 participants working on the same 3 challenges. Participants were from Scotland, England and the Netherlands.
We used our main Zoom session to hold the space and alternated between main room where everyone should be together, and breakout rooms for group work in 90 minutes blocks of time. We then came back together to check in on how teams were getting on, and to share information and offers of help.
We used Slack and our Code the City workgroup as the back channel between rooms, and to coordinate the event outside of Zoom. This worked well in the run-up to the event, and also as the jumping off point for each day.
We had three teams working on a range of topics. All of them were continuations of previous projects.
The OD Bods was started at CTC23 and picked up further at SODU2021, and continues now as an opportunity for the team to work together. You can see their progress at https://opendatascotland.github.io/the_od_bods/ which feeds the website at https://opendata.scot
