Get Involved

Join the mailing list: feel free to ‘lurk’ or to ask any questions that you might have. If you have a question, we’re almost certain someone else has the same one, too. If you’ve created a resource that you think might be helpful for others, share it – or if you come across a particularly thorny or confusing responsible data topic, the mailing list can be a great place to solicit opinions.

Write a blog post: share your thoughts or learnings around responsible data topics, either as a cross-post from another blog or as an original piece. If you don’t have institutional support, we can offer a modest fee for writing, and in all cases we can provide editorial support.

Share your work: a core aim of the responsible data community is to increase visibility around great RD work that is going on. If you’re launching a new RD policy, doing some RD research or a new RD project, we’d love to feature your work on the site – just get in touch.

Share your thoughts on Twitter: Use #responsibledata to share links to articles or resources you think would be of interest to the community – these will be curated and shared via the newsletter.

Contribute to the Mission Responsible newsletter: Every two months, we put the spotlight on a member of the Responsible Data community, talking about what they do and how their work contributes to the topics around responsible data. If you have suggestions for things to include, or if you’d like to be featured, get in touch with us on hello[at]responsibledata.io

In-person events are fantastic ways to harness the power of the community and get a diverse range of opinions and perspectives to help think through a particular set of issues. If you’d like to host, or co-host, a Responsible Data Forum event (see previous events here) – get in touch.

Through our experience in hosting and co-organising Responsible Data Forum events, we have an adaptable and agile format that encourages a small group of participants to work together to collaboratively develop useful resources and tools to address the topic in question. Hosts are expected to bring sector-specific expertise; budget or a willingness to fundraise.

News of upcoming events will be shared on the responsible data mailing list, and on the blog.

To keep up with responsible data community developments:

• Join the RD mailing list
• subscribe to the Mission Responsible newsletter
• Keep an eye on #responsibledata on Twitter.

Not sure of the difference?

The RD mailing list is a listserv where anyone who is subscribed can write to the whole group – it’s for discussions, sharing resources, and getting the attention of everyone who is subscribed to the list.

The Mission Responsible newsletter is a broadcast format – once every two months, we put the spotlight on a member of the Responsible Data community, talking about what they do and how their work contributes to the topics around responsible data.
