Pia's digital state of the State address: with a GLAM twist
summary
Reports that a new Victorian + federal API standard for government is already published and usable, and that releasing an API guide in one week once caused rapid uptake across agencies. Describes workshops that built 16 mapped futures for Auckland and speculative “day in 2070” scenarios used to reverse‑engineer policy. Argues for machine-consumable legislation, developer experience and making culture mashable, recommends carving out 10% play time for experimentation, warns human augmentation will create major social schisms, and gives a museum soup‑kitchen example of practical civic action.
