	Hi all,

	This email is to announce RewiredState: National Hack The Government Day on the 7th March. It's a hack day to show governments what could be done with the web to make the world a better place:

	http://rewiredstate.org

	We'll be collecting all the feeds and APIs we can get, offered by official government sources and screen scraping new ones that aren't.

	# Who should come

	Question 8. The government is not considering opening up civil partnerships to opposite-sex couples because we have been unable to identify a need for this. However, we appreciate that there are a number of views on this issue.


	Do you agree or disagree with this proposal?

"The first principle is that any proposals for the future, while they should use to the full the experience gathered in the past, should not be restricted by consideration of sectional interests established in the obtaining of that experience. Now, when the war is abolishing landmarks of every kind, is the opportunity for using experience in a clear field. A revolutionary moment in the world’s history is a time for revolutions, not for patching."

Oyster Card backup script for ScraperWiki.com Vault

	# This is a very basic script to backup oyster card data to a scraperwiki vault
	# Notes:
	# 1) You need an oyster card that has been registered on tfl.gov.uk
	# 2) This script requires you to enter your username and password (this about what that means before progressing, and do so at your own risk)
	# 3) This script should be run in a PRIVATE SCRAPERWIKI VAULT ONLY https://scraperwiki.com/pricing/ not a public scraper, or the world will know your password

	import scraperwiki
	import mechanize
	import lxml.html
	from lxml.etree import tostring
