Originally posted by Talking With Talis on November 1, 2006.
In this Library 2.0 Gang discussion, Gang members select some key points from the recent round of conferences, and explore the increasingly significant notion of 'open data' in the library domain.
Programme participants were drawn, as usual, from the full list of Gang members, and a forum is available for discussion of issues raised during the recording.

- Paul Miller, Technology Evangelist at Talis. Paul contributes to the panlibus blog, and hosts the Talking with Talis podcast series.
- Ed Vielmetti, Superpatron.
