For the past 11 years I've been keeping an index of posts about #localGDS / #GDSLocal. I've just added the first for 2025, which is probably most significant

There's a new entry in the #localGDS debate, this time from @LGANews.

Find the link to it many other article from the past decade here: https://t.co/WEfGXyx2xK

Back in January I asked, does the Service Standard work for #localgov.

The answer appears to be no.

I think it's fair to say my chillies are doing pretty well this year, including the Black Pearl I'm growing for the first time

[Phil Rumens @PhilRumens]

Really pleased to see @WestBerkshire included in these 9 artificial intelligence use cases from @LGAcomms.

Do give them a read to see how #localgov is already adopting #AI to assist with a variety of tasks and outcomes.

TLDR: It's not just Copilot

Has any nation's women's and men's football teams been UEFA European Champions at the same time before? #ESPENG

I know it's been a long day, then night, then day for many, but spare a thought for those working at the Inverness, Skye and West Ross-shire count, who are coming back at 10.30am tomorrow to continue working on it.

Do you remember when you joined X?

No, me neither, because I joined Twitter 15 years ago.

I'm delighted to let you know that @LGAcomms and @LocalGovDigital have teamed up on some work to explore if, and how, the Service Standard is being used in #localgov.

I'm heading to #gov40london today to talk about what @WestBerkshire is doing with #AI in #localgov and learn from what others.

@CatherineCe @benunsworth I've got a Novation Bass Station so that's the first thing that came to mind.

Yesterday I ran the second pre-meet of @LocalGovDigital #AI Practitioners.

I was amazed by the blend of innovation and pragmatism by those starting to use AI in #localgov.

They'll be more released soon, but if you're interested now, read about it here: https://t.co/1GC0ZnEhUw

@armintalic It seems a lot faster than ChatGPT 4.

Today's the first day of 2024 I'm powering everything in my home office off solar generated power.

It won't fix the #ClimateCrisis, but it's a small step in the right direction.

[Phil Rumens @PhilRumens]

@jamesoriel @dominiccampbell I suspect before too long websites of such complexity will be replaced by a large langauge model.

[Phil Rumens @PhilRumens]

@bmwelby I agree with the sentiment the Standard needs to evolve and wrote something about earlier in the year.

Services still need to meet user needs though, and almost everything, even if indirectly, will support a public facing service.
