Always a pleasure to snap one of these.
This was spotted yesterday morning, at Stansted airport.
ICELE eDemocracy Guides
Alastair Smith at Newcastle City Council today brought my attention to the fact that the ICELE eDemocracy guides were no longer available. Effectively, the link to the page where they were distributed via the Lulu website no longer works.
Luckily for Alastair, and perhaps others, I saved the downloadable PDFs of the guides a while ago, and so now am happy to make them available here on DavePress for folk that want them:
I think I have them all, although four doesn’t seem that many. If you have any others I have missed, do let me know.

Dave @ PSF
I’m going to be talking to a bunch of public sector folk on Thursday as part of a Public Sector Forums event entitled Public Sector Websites – Essential Issues for Managers, Developers and Others.
It should be a good day – as well as me, other speakers include:
- Gavin Woods – Business Development Manager, BrowseAloud
- Jack Pickard, Web Services Manager, Public Sector Forums
- Dan Champion – Champion Internet Solutions
- Simon Halberstam – ‘Weblaw’ & Partner, Sprecher Grier Halberstam LLP
- Simon Wakeman – Head of Marketing, Medway Council
- Peter Barton – Lincolnshire County Council
My bit is on ‘Social Networking and other Tools of Engagement’. Here’s the blurb:
Dave will begin to identify what the social web can do, and help equip the delegation with the skills and tools that will enable them to succeed using those tools.
Should be a good day. If you aren’t already booked up, what are you waiting for? 😉
Who to follow on Twitter?
There has been quite a bit of twitterfuss over the last week about Mr Tweet, a hideously named service which analyses your current network and then suggests new people that you ought to be following, amongst other snippets of information.
To get your report, all you need to do is follow Mr Tweet on Twitter, and then you get a direct message when your feedback is ready. I’m still waiting for mine.
Other places you can go to find cool people to follow includes my Govwebby list, or the Twitterpacks wiki, which has lots of different feeds listed in a directory structure, whether by topic or location. Worth checking out.
