I've signed this open letter asking NHS England to keep its code open.
> Code paid for with public money should be open to the public. This principle is enshrined in the UK Government Design Principles and the NHS Service Standard. It is now being walked back. We are signing this to restate the case.
Please consider signing, particularly if you've ever contributed to UK public-sector software.

A week late, but here are our #weeknotes for last week which was a break between the project at the Government Digital Service and and a new (to us) project at NHS Digital.
They include a video of the GFR theme song played live at the Albert Hall!

> ‘Significant exposure’: AWS outage exposed UK state’s £1.7bn reliance on tech giant
Although the GOV.UK PaaS [1] was initially built on AWS, it used Terraform with the intention of using other providers, but then it was decommissioned [2] - perhaps it’s worth reviving…?

@DifferentDrummer NHS vs the outcomes of #GDSTeam certainly seems like a night and day experience :/

Does anyone know whether #gdsteam and/or #ukparliament have any plans to run a Mastodon/ActivityPub instance?
It's a shame that MPs are jumping from the frying pan (X) into the fire (BlueSky)!
