On a train north after a wonderful multi-conference trip to #chaosscon and #FOSDEM and #SooCon plus some social moments with community people. Thank you to everyone who made the events happen, came to my talks/panel, or stopped to chat. I learned a lot and enjoyed it all! (But now I need a nap)

Great turnout today at the State of Open Con in London.

More discussion of procurement, regulation and the role of government.
