Open discussion on whether this is a good idea - suggestion that it might make sense to kick off regional groups again.
Open Data - is this going to be something that we need to do more of. Feelings that the powers that be haven't realised that this is a good idea yet. One option is to do it without telling anyone - possible risks of doing this. Paul Walk suggests opening up calendar data. There are dangers of just letting stuff go out there. Risk assessment.
Mike Ellis suggests making press and marketing data available because it is there to be consumed. Rss used internally too. What about accessibility issues?
Good point about Accessibility Brian, but had advice from Sal Cooke at TechDis that "rttttteasonable adjustment" does not necessarily mean "technological" adjustment
The winner of the competition is collaborative cross-institutional user-generated interactive mashup thing !!!
Singing during a spoken word/technology heavy event is a very innovative thing to do - outside the acceptable context of pub/drunken stagger homewards, that is. It communicates to the assembly in a very different, emotive way. Well done!
But I did like the train timetable mashup as well, from a purely personal point of view.
Earwigging in via the video feed and scribblive. This is great for hangers on who didn't pay to attend!
morning Iain
really challenging us Ewan
Crikey, that was a rather depressing response: no-one there sees students in the process of learning?
lol - going to a *disco*!
'friend' doesn't mean 'friend' anymore?
interesting point about breaking up the institution into managable chunks but surely Fb is massive but people partition it into social networks of their own
oops :-0
we are hoping to fund a couple of projects this year looking at issues around online identity and the issues people need to think about
i own "andypowe11.net" but not "andypowell.com" because guitarist of wishbone ash has same name - asked about price but prohibitive
have often wondered about buying domain names for my kids - but feels a bit geeky
@andypowe11 Was just about to say that I would like to say something on that point (managing identity) but can't right now :-)
magic image?
ah!
