A pretty regular week in which I

• Switched my calendar to our Nextcloud
• Wrote a project proposal for a follow-up with an existing client
• Attended a session with 60 or so entrepreneurs that are also Dutch Mensa members
• Had a full day looking at the data governance aspects of a office space monitor, which data a government body should require during procurement concerning circular economy, and mapped out data streams around current catering services of a client, also concerning circular economy
• Planned next steps for a client’s data publishing platform and publishing process
• Had a team meeting and client meeting on our progress in the European research for the high value data sets that will be part of the upcoming European open data legislation
• Had my monthly catch-up with the director of the Open State Foundation (where I’m a volunteer board member)
• Discussed how to be transparant concerning the use of algorithms for the half a dozen ‘significant’ or novel ones a client uses/
• Had to confront the ‘artistic expression‘ of Y and her friend

This week in …… 1883*

Lewis Waterman invented the three fissure feed for fountain pens this week in 1883. And went on to create the Waterman fountain pen company.
