I am one of the workshop leader delivering a session on how to create an effective community websites on the second day of the conference.
The session will cover various tools, hardware/software, unique skills needed to manage a site. We will also touch on online/offline marketing techniques, web trackers that make sense to real people not just to techie’s.
I will be at barcamp and happy to chat about this stuff as and how needed.
The methods used in Sunderland are very different to those used in other areas.

Hi – AboutMyArea is a privately owned Community website for South Sunderland, so I am interested in speaking to anyone we can help by promoting their community group, club or organisation, or local business on our internet pages.
I am also intrigued by Chris’ coment above that Sunderland is ” very different ” to other areas !

Engaging students in learning is my thing – specifically students aged 14-19 who are unlikely to get 5+ A*-C GCSEs!
My new company develops fantastic resources for English, Maths and ICT but they are no good unless we can get them used by students – that’s my challenge! Jonathan Wells

Hope it goes well and will support using social media if I can !

The North East is the most rapidly ageing region of the country. I am interested in how we can be a flourishing, sustainable community with a population age-structure much older than that experienced by previous generations. ‘Years Ahead’ has funding to set up a large panel of older people who can actively inform regional policy and strategy making and and provide input to research on issues which affect their lives – “nothing about us, without us”. Although an ICT simpleton, I am attending in the hope of meeting people with related interests or ideas about how ICT networking can be used to support these aims.
