Tickets are also on sale on the site, though for those who have been before please note that the conference is running slightly smaller than usual to try to allow some reduced risk for the reasons you probably will have noticed over the last couple of years.

To find out more about this role and working at Open Data Services check out this twitter thread , or go straight to the full job ad . At Open Data Services, we aim to make open data useful, usable and in use. We like to work with projects that combine innovation and engagement to deliver sustainable social impact with open data. We work with transparency initiatives such as Open Contracting, 360Giving, Open Ownership and the International Aid Transparency Initiative to provide tools and technical assistance to organisations across the world. You?ll be creating tools in Python (Django, Flask and command-line), that help people publish and use open data. We build transformers to convert data between formats, validators and quality tooling to help people understand their data, and pipelines to make data available in appropriate places and formats. We support some leading open data standards including 360Giving, BODS and Open Referral, and our tooling helps people collaborate around those standards. We believe in supporting the open data ecosystem. All our tools are open source, and we routinely reuse code across projects & publish our work on GitHub ? so we can spend more time improving and tailoring our systems, rather than reinventing the wheel. We are a worker co-operative. After a probationary period, workers have the right to become members of the co-op, jointly owning and running the business. We offer a training budget of ?1,000 and 5 paid days per year, and are committed to supporting staff development, training and conference attendance. Our benefit package includes a health cash plan, group life insurance, generous parental leave, a health and wellbeing service that includes GP consultations and counselling, a cycle-to-work scheme, and an allowance for eye tests. We particularly welcome applications from disabled, ethnic minority and women candidates as these groups are underrepresented in our organisation. - Salary: ?43,120 (full-time equivalent) plus profit share and benefits. - Location: Remote, UK-only - Closing: 12:00pm, 18th Jul 2022 BST - Part-time (0.6 FTE and above) or full-time working.
