Thanks to all those who have completed my survey but I'm probably closing
research phase one off very shortly! So last chance to gob off about NI14!
My name is Mick Phythian, I'm a local government IT manager and part-time
researcher at the Centre for Computing and Social Responsibility at De
Montfort University and I'm looking for your opinions!

UK Youth Online - picking up the 'youth' threads from BarcampUKGovWeb

tim.g.dav...@gmail.com (Tim Davies) — Tue, 08 Aug 2008 09:38:26 UT

I mentioned on this list just after BarcampUKGovWeb the idea of
holding some sort of Barcamp or unconference to unpack the threads
about online engagement with young people (mainly under 19s) that were
explored at the event - and to try and link some of the fantastic
thinking from the Barcamp with youth service practitioners.

Noel,
Both events are open to all.
The 9th at Coventry is very much focused on the issues related to
government getting involved with the virtual itself.
The 22nd / 23rd is much wider in scope and is looking at all public
policy implications, so this includes what it means for government
(which might be included explicitly on the innovation panel) but also

Sounds very interesting. Cannot attend the vGov event on the 9th but
would be interested to find out more about the Virtual Policy event on
the 22nd - is the key policy target just for civil servants? From what
I know, local councils are growing in presence on virtual worlds as
well (Manchester, Oldham and Kent) and may be interested in working

Thanks for your message Phil. This particular event is aimed at staff
and professionals. As you say it is critical to make involvement mean
something in the real world first and that's why to preserve the trust
we have in the "real world" we preferred to test it out with a range
of professionals from different services before considering reaching

Virtual Policy event 22-23 July BERR London, v-Gov 9 July, SGI, Coventry

r...@aldermangroup.com (RenZephyr) — Sun, 06 Jun 2008 14:05:20 UT

All,
the Virtual Policy Network (tVPN) is running a couple of events in
July based around UK government. v-Gov (9th July) is a very applied
look at virtual space, Virtual Policy (22nd & 23rd July) is the first
major policy event on virtual worlds to be held in the UK (and is free
to UK Civil Servants! and there is a social at the Hospital in SoHo).
