DIY Vancouver

Following yesterday's presentation and working group session with the City's IT Manager at OpenWebVancouver09, Luke Closs has setup a Google Group specifically focused on the Open Data component of Andrea Reimer's "Open Data, Open Standards, Open Source" motion.

You can join the group at http://groups.google.ca/group/vancouver-data/

Hello, I'm Jared Bachynski. I came across this site from a recent David Eaves blog post, and thought I'd mention an something that I would love to see implemented in Vancouver: a Tool Lending Library.

See here for Berkeley's implementation of the concept:

Naturally, this is taking the DIY of DIYcity a little too literally; worthwhile enough to mention, nevertheless.
