This is a collection of some of the stuff that’s since been put online about the day.

Please leave other links in the comments and I will add them here.

The site itself

BCCDIY.com

The source code

Everything we have built is now open source, and you can download and play with the code if you know Ruby on Rails (could be a good reason to learn?)

The BCCDIY project on Github.

The WIKI

A fair few pages on the BCCDIY wiki were put together during the day, along with our thoughts on what we want to know about based on a “Near Me” search, what should go on the home page. Lots to look at there.

Mindmaps

Simon Redgrave made this rather wonderful mindmap for how the “Near Me” functionality should work. Click the nodes to expand them.

Videos

Lots of people had cameras and were filming the day. Here are just some of them:

At the end of Week Two, @citizensheep interviewed me about the site.
Audio

Some of us were using AudioBoo and other podcasting tools to record and publish audio:

Paul Hadley talks to Al from Newcastle City Council web team

Flickr

We had around 2000 photos tagged “BCCDIY” on Flickr during the day. Most of those tags were added by us, with the idea being the photos would be invited to appear on the site. We also have a BCCDIY group set up to collect images that would be particularly suited to appearing without context on the homepage. Please join and submit your photos and hopefully they’ll start appearing.

Tweets

There’s been a lot of noise on Twitter under the hashtag #bccdiy
