I've signed this open letter asking NHS England to keep its code open.
> Code paid for with public money should be open to the public. This principle is enshrined in the UK Government Design Principles and the NHS Service Standard. It is now being walked back. We are signing this to restate the case.
Please consider signing, particularly if you've ever contributed to UK public-sector software.
Coding in the open: so many benefits; so few downsides!

A great example of #WorkingInTheOpen from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs 'Digital Waste Tracking' Team.
They have published an open site on GitHub to share information, artefacts (such as process diagrams) and ways to contact the Team and join the Private Beta of the #Service. ⤵️

Something that was highlighted in their recently published Service Standard assessment report. 👇
