5 years ago I attended my first international open data conference as a @SchoolOfData fellow. It’s been 5 years of an amazing journey working with open data and getting to know an amazing global community. For many years to come!

:) @workbenchdata has become a staple when I do workshops on #DataLiteracy and working with data using
@SchoolOfData's #DataPipeline. I've gotten great feedback for it from veterans to beginners who've never touched a spreadsheet. Do check it out at workbenchdata.com.
