What
An informal meeting (a BarCamp) of people interested in the Scottish Public Sector and the web. There will be open discussions on a number of topics (see below) led by someone with an interest in those fields. There will also be food and drink. While there will be people from roster agencies present they will not try to sell you anything under pain of being defenestrated from Microsoft's fine offices overlooking Waverley Station.
Why
The digital landscape is changing fast. Web 2.0, social media, open source, the credit crunch, website rationalisation all present new challenges we all must face.
Should we be working together?
What skills are organisations going to need in future?
Who has already done it?
And how do you actually do this stuff?
Hopefully this barcamp will go some way to establishing connections and help share experience so we can all do our jobs better.
