  • Open Source Schools Seminar on Innoviation for LA Staff

    On 15th October 2009 Open Source Schools held a seminar on Innovation for LA Staff. A fantastic day with many wonderful sessions but I thought I would point out my own one first. Tasked with talking about how IT Support teams are making a difference with Open Source I chose to talk about a number…

  • Standing in the shoulders of giants

    There are times when you just know that a day is going to be a wonderful one, that no matter how nervous you are about presenting, no matter how tired you may or how much work you have to do for the next day… You just get a tingle. And that is what I had…

  • TeachMeet Midlands 09

  • Information overload, communication underload

    I have a number of things to blog about at the moment after the NAACE conference 2009, but I am still aware I have a pile of notes from BETT to put up and some more sharepoint stuff too… too many conferences / shows, too much operational work and not enough time to sit down…
