SecondMeet

From BarcampUKGovweb

The opening deliberations on the second meeting were on Emma's blog and the Google Group.

Essentially, the idea is developing that a two day event would be best, one a more informal barcamp-style do, the other a slightly more formal affair which could pitch our ideas to the budget holders, decision makers etc.

Issues

What issues could be discussed at the event? Paul Canning has a list:

1. Findability
2. Disengagement from the wider web and those damned walled gardens
3. Engaging the industry
4. Marketing
5. Widgetising services
6. Engaging the local
7. Cheaper usability methods
8. Content
9. Fixations on 'engagement'
10. Utilising reputation

There is also a thread developing to identify the various groups operating in this space and how they can work together. Also development of the Public Sector Web Manager's Group - which may well have it's name changed at some point.
