📓✍🏻💡Workshop series

Are you a housing justice organiser looking to work with data to pick apart ownership and rent extraction to build organising power? Do you have an idea for a data-led investigation, but need some time, peer, and expert support to help make it happen?

You’re invited to join our upcoming workshop series on developing data-led investigations on ownership and rent extraction. Participation fees are available and the deadline to apply is Thursday 2 April.

🚀 London in person

We were excited to get together in person in London last week… as a fully remote team it’s rare that we're all in the same room and it was lovely to be together.

We spent the time talking through what's coming next for our tools, including some new options we're developing to make sure we can continue to purchase fresh land registry data to keep Land Explorer up to date and useful. More on that soon.

We also mapped out our goals and priorities for the next six months. There's a lot to look forward to!

🤜🤛 Reminder: open source contributor space

A reminder that we’ve just launched a new open source contributor space for people who want to support tech for good. If you’re a developer, researcher, designer, or data person, you can now see what we’re working on and where support is needed.

☎️ Onboarding calls to Land Explorer: now open for organisations

We've been doing these quietly for a while and they've been going well, so we're opening them up properly. If your organisation wants a guided introduction to using Land Explorer, you can now book a dedicated call with us. Just reply to this email and we'll get it scheduled (there is a fee for these calls).

That’s it for now!

Speak soon,

The DCC team
