Hey, #legaltech and #RulesAsCode friends! After two very productive years on Interchange to the Gov't of 🇨🇦, I am exploring new opportunities starting in the fall. If you know of possible employers, clients, or funders, let me know. #ComputationalLaw Please RT!
July edition of CALC Newsletter now out (Commonwealth Assoc of Legislative Counsel) calc.ngo/sites/default/… Includes info on - 🔸our work on parsing & marking up examples 🔸our talks at Europe CALC Conf in Cardiff 🔸@verbman's "love letter" to drafters hamish.dev/the-love-lette…
Back in 2021 @mattwadd wrote the below blog post and @mengwong took an example from that post and wrote it in L4. I’m now sitting with Matthew while he learns L4 using that same example while Meng instructs from the front at #CLAWCON Loop closed!
This issue of the Loophole is a large file, and there were some formatting improvements I could make to the article, so I have posted a reformatted & extracted version of the article here - legislativedrafter.wordpress.com/2021/10/30/log…
@laurencediver I‘ve posted an update contextualising what I was requesting with the love letter to three standards including ELI. It’s pretty complimentary to ELI which states in its own documentation it’s not attempting to solve what I’m proposing.
Earlier this year I wrote a love letter to the parliamentary counsels of the world; I’ve just posted a follow up giving context to what I’m proposing with regards to three existing standards. #AkomaNtoso #ELI and #USLM hamish.dev/the-love-lette…
I built a code/legislation thing and then wrote a love letter about it and if you're nerdy and into #Legislation #CivicTech #RulesAsCode then you might enjoy it. Not normally active here nowadays but this is for the old crew XD. hamish.dev/a-love-letter-…
@arihersh You may be interested in my most recent post where I compare what I’m proposing with USLM and two other standards. Got to say the USLM format is very agreeable, are you aware of much public facing utilisation of the ids?

@esbranson I’ve just posted an update to this, in part to contextualise what I’m proposing with three existing standards including Akoma Ntoso:

🇬🇷 and 🇳🇱 will soon adopt the #OpenSource #RulesAsCode engine OpenFisca to deliver social benefits on the model of 🇫🇷 @MesAides, supported over the next 2 years by the brand new 🇪🇺 initiative #GovTech4All! Big thanks to our partners @_DINUM 🇫🇷 / @grnet_gr 🇬🇷 / @DigicampusNL 🇳🇱.
@Becs I’ve been following this recipe and then making Turkish style wraps with a whatever fillers/salads along with a simple yogurt/olive oil/garlic mix. My boys love it. thecafesucrefarine.com/greek-yogurt-t…
Big questions that Aotearoa NZ should be asking right now. Heavy impacts abroad show us what our own future can be we don't take preventive action. Thanks for a great conversation last night with brilliant speakers @DrFrascatore & @brownecfm chaired by @chrisjensenj. #longCovid

The project sits under The Digital Legal Systems Lab, which is a joint venture between Brainbox & Verb's Hamish Fraser (@verbman). It's a great case study of exciting things to come in the #LawAsCode space. We hope you can join us to hear more about it! techweek.co.nz/programme/view…
We're excited to debut a #LawAsCode project at @TechweekNZ next week! On Tuesday 16 May at 10am NZT, we'll be presenting a webinar about how we've supported NZ's water services regulator to enable API reporting of water quality data. (1/2) techweek.co.nz/programme/view…
I’m feeling really spaced out guys
If you lost all of the space between the electrons and the nuclei that make up your body, you would take up less than 2 cubic millimetres.
@ms_firecracker Damn, hope it’s nothing for you, still managing to novid here but we’re dropping out fast
We are honored to receive the #EdgeOfGovernment #innovation award from the #WorldGovernmentSummit 2023! Emissaries @matti_sg & @OliveOued receive this distinction on behalf of the entire @OpenFisca community and more broadly, for all those who work to make #RulesAsCode a reality.
Last week we formally launched The Digital Legal Systems Lab, a new institution we've created with @verbman. It's a place for responsible #LegislationAsCode experimentation, and we're keen to collaborate with others on future projects. Read more: brainbox.institute/post/introduci…
Everything about this… thank you @verbman for this delightful and incredibly useful nerdyness ❤️

@esbranson Dark mode forever. What I'm asking for is not dependent on a flavour of XML as demonstrated. It would also aid migrations between formats/to LegalDocML. Demonstrating if LegalDocML could be used to generate these references as I am would be a fun next step.
