Thanks Rob, loving the synopsis here! As it is, I'd love to have the talk in May (as we discussed before). Are you still available?
I see the value of the talk centres around standardisation and how you've achieved it. Would it be possible to add in some lessons of your experiences of where non-standardised data has caused problems, and how you solved it? Are there any other things you could speak about regarding lessons in the process of building this?
8th of May, right? I'm at Agile Manchester, unfortunately!
I can certainly talk more about the issues around completely non-standardised data and why close enough isn't good enough when it comes to standardisation, with real examples. And I can talk a bit more about the political environment around making standards work - as usual, the tech is the easy bit, the humans are the hard bit!
Hey @robredpath! This sounds good to me; can we book you in for June 12th?
@Codesleuth sure thing; it's in my calendar now!
Hey @robredpath, your talk is announced here: https://nottsjs.org/#2018-06-12-saving-the-world-with-json-schema
Can you give it a read through and check it's OK for you?
Looks good @Codesleuth!
I work for http://opendataservices.coop/ - we're a tech co-op who help people and organisations publish and use open data in a variety of fields, including international development, government procurement and philanthropy. We do it to help those organisations have an impact on the world - to make people's taxes go further, to stop corruption, to make aid more effective, and to help make sure that charity money goes where it's needed most. Underpinning this work is a ton of JSON Schema (and some XML Schema, if you dig around the back of our closet). I got chatting to @Codesleuth at Tech Notts a few weeks ago about how this could be a talk, so here's the proposal!
Briefly, I'd cover:
