Development of Butetown.org

2009-11-09T18:22:15Z

I had a very productive meeting with Tom and Carl from Native HQ,
where we discussed how Butetown.org can be improved. At the moment
the .org site is down, although the ning site is still active. Partly
due to a lack of resources, partly due to commitment to other work
project butetown.org has been neglected of late.

Hi there!

The bigger event can't happen yet - there needs to be a bit more
development on the stake and shareholder front and also more
development of the strategic context that would provide opportunities
for effective legacy. Also, the date of an opportunity to discuss an
event with the community collegiately has had to be delayed.

Goodness, time has flown and my focus has been elsewhere. How is the
preparation for the event coming on? The outline looks excellent.

Oct 9th sounds like an excellent event. Don't forget to see if Iain Tweedale can offer someone from his team to help with / do a workshop.
Re the ideas you posted. Yes - we at BBC Wales would certainly be up for looking at how we might work together on / contribute to those - 1 and 2 are particularly interesting. Shall we talk about that when you come in.

On Friday 4th September, Tom Beardshaw, Carl Morris and me had a
telephone conversation about what might be a next stage of Digital
Butetown, feeding off the ideas raised at the event at the end of
July.

Here's a summary for your comment on what the next stage might look
like:

The main purpose of this project is to develop and deliver a programme
that enables people to use/exploit online social media for the benefit
of their community, should they want/need to.

But it might be worth throwing in to the pot the possible template of
a larger digital initiative that fed off the back of Gavin's post
