Over the last twelve months there has been a reduction in the general community events that we’ve run. As we came into the year, we were starting to notice that our general online events were being less well attended. The reasons for which are many, but anecdotally might have been a hangover from COVID where everyone was stuck in front of a screen and the ability for people to socialise made an evening in front of the computer less attractive. We have also been hampered by access to venues to as pre-COVID we were fortunate to be able to have access to the events and workshop spaces within the Federation. Within this environment we sought partnerships with communities such as Her+Data, PyData Manchester, PythonNW and R Ladies to co-produce events, allowing the burden of event delivery to be shared and increase attendance through bringing together our respective communities.To maintain our presence and also build on the enlarged community that we built over the previous twelve months, we continued to develop the Data Cooperative Working Group, which engages a broad group of academics and practitioners from around the world and runs in partnership with the Aapti Institute in Bangalore. This has led to a number of conversations with both UK-based and international organisations around the development of data cooperatives and an accompanying handbook, which helps organisations understand the opportunities and challenges of mutual data ownership.In addition to this we facilitated the development of the Design Justice Network Node for the North of England. As an organisation we are subscribed to the Design Justice principles for empowered communities and more sustainable practices.Building on last year’s Our Streets Chorlton project and our Data for Communities programme we have started to co-design a community data handbook with a community partner in Manchester to help community activists to collect data to help them to better represent their communities in policy discussions.This year there have been a number of open workshops that Open Data Manchester has run as a convenor to help people to respond to consultations. The first was a series of workshops unpicking the Data: A new direction, a data reform consultation supported by the GMCA, and the second was to help people understand and respond to the Bill of Rights consultation.We have also started to work with Foxglove Legal on the development of Algorithmic Transparency consultation guidelines with public sector organisation within Greater Manchester as part of our Declaration for Responsible and Intelligent Data Practice programme.
