Michael Grimes, aka Citizensheep did a great job in setting up the live blogging stuff from the conference. As we’ve been slow in posting some form of response or update, here’s the blogging as it happened.
Day 2
March 22nd, 2009 | by admin Published in Digital Inclusion Conference 09, Events, We share
To coincide with our stint at this year’s National Digital Inclusion conference in London, we’ve started a little fun campaign. ‘Share the Love‘ is about letting everyone know why you love the stuff that you love doing on the internet…simple! and then you can show someone who doesn’t know how to do it.. how to do it! simple again! It could be uploading a picture to Flickr with your mom.. it could be searching online for a new fence with your neighbour.. it’s up to you.. And if you can record what you did, by video, blog, twitter etc, you can share that love with everyone else too.. how pleasant!
We’ll be keeping a track of how much love is getting shared over on the ‘Share the Love‘ pages. If you want your video included on there just give us a shout.
For you Facebook fans out there, we’ve started a ‘Share the Love’ group too!
More details on what we have planned at the conference, coming soon!

Great news last week when We Share Stuff got the go-ahead to run some form of social media workshop / info point (whatever we come up with before the dates!) at this year’s National Digital Inclusion Conference on 27th-28th April.
While the conference is aimed at the leading stakeholders and practitioners, we felt the conference fee would stop many more interested parties getting involved. Thanks to Helen Milner, of UK Online Centres, we have secured a space at the conference to promote the benefits of social media and to hopefully create some useful debate regarding the digital inclusion agenda.
We are now in the throws of organising something. Initial ideas include some form of social media surgery along the lines of those set up by Nick Booth and a live twitter debate, hopefully with some prominent twitterers. We also have a few more ideas up our collective sleeves which we’ll flesh out over the next month or so. Watch this space!

The National Digital Inclusion Conference 2009 will be the fourth annual event bringing together over 300 experts, decision-makers and practitioners to network, debate digital inclusion policy and practice and shape the agenda for action that delivers ‘empowerment through technology’.
So goes the blurb on their website. This event should be pretty important as a lot of people attending are the kinds of people who should either already know, or really want to know about how Britain is shaping up, digitally, if you will. The cost of this conference is somewhat steep with prices between £300 and £400. There’s a good chance that a lot of people who would really benefit from attending, won’t be able to afford it. Plus, it’s in London again which brings it’s own issues.
Jon Hickman had an idea around maybe organising some sort of ‘unconference’ at the same time, for the interested folks who couldn’t afford tickets so we’re in the throws of organising something. We hope to get something organised at the same venue as the conference which could allow conference and unconference peoples, the chance to network.
There’s plenty to try and organise but we’ll keep you updated here as and when.
