Link roundup

I find this stuff so you don’t have to:

Councils — Kill your PDFs – Some sage advice from Adrian Short – stop publishing so many PDFs!
Evolving Digital Engagement – From Participation to Partnership – “This report reviews the background and context for digital engagement, with a focus on the shifting social and media landscape and the potential for more radical forms of policy development.”
Facing the Open Data Templars at GovCamp in Canberra – A bit more open data contrariness.
Open source, open data, open options? | Spartakan – “A permanent acceptance of OS will need organisations to change so that it is possible to construct successful business cases for OS solutions. What that change is, is another question.”
Warning and informing is not even the start of it | Ben Proctor – “…what excites me, and (from an emergency planning point of view) scares me, about this technology is the power it gives to individuals. We’ve really got to get a handle on how this changes things for responders and public safety.”
