Digital Britain Unconference

A number of what I'd consider the UK's "free-form digerati" were left feeling somewhat unsatisfied after the feedback of the Digital Britain Summit session last week (see here and here for our response ), so we've used this new-fangled social media thing to talk about it - the upshot is that we're organising (in the loosest possible sense of the word) a series of Digital Britain Unconferences. Twitter address is @dbcu09

The idea is that:

Anyone can attend or hold an event and associate it with Digital Britain Unconferences, you’ll just need to summarise your discussions and hold it by 13th May 2009! Yes, time is very tight.

More soon!

One request I'd make - the other organisers are too polite to say it, but I will - one of the things that the Digital Britain team has made clear is that they will want feedback that is "positive, concise, based in reality and sent in as soon as possible". That "based in reality" bit (that mainly means economics) puts a responsibility on us all to ensure all of us as attendees are briefed and educated on the subject before attending the unconference - ie come prepared, no numpties please, as that will dilute the hard work of others.
