What?

This barcamp is about creating a shared understanding and commitment to the vision for UK government web activity and helping establish the UK government Digital Network to bring together the community of webbies within central government and the wider public sector.

 

A Google email group has been created as another communication medium, so it might be an idea to sign up to that. Also, the event is listed on Facebook and Upcoming.

 

 

Why?

Government's approach to all things web and digital is changing for all sorts of reasons: transformational government / website rationalisation provides greater focus on a smaller number of online channels, the impact of - and opportunities presented by - web 2.0 is looming large in everyone's thoughts, online engagement and deliberation are buzz phrases around Whitehall.

 

• What does this all mean?

• How does it all fit together?

• What skills / resources are organisations going to need in future?

• Who's done it already?

• How do you actually do this stuff?

 

This barcamp provides a opportunity where hopefully we can answer some of the difficult questions and create a shared vision and approach. Equally, its hoped we can mobilise the government digital media community to improve our skills, knowledge and voice as a collective group.

 

 

 

Who should attend?

This event should be of interest to all who work in the UK government digital media community: permanent civil servants, contractors, consultants, agencies, advisers, supporters, observers, and critics.

 

If you think you've got something to contribute to improving how government organisations use the web, then this event is for you. If demand and space results in us becoming oversubscribed, we may limit spaces to a representative sample of the above.

 

Sign up further down this page, and be prepared to lead a session on something.
