Anything you would like to say about you or your projects?

Am involved in a few projects here and there. My real interest is in how all this activity can be joined up, both horizontally by location but also vertically by communities of interest too.

Here be Dave

I work as Community Evangelist for Learning Pool - the public sector eLearning exchange. I make noise about the company and the great work we do, as well as finding interesting projects to get involved in.

My main focus is on technology enabled change within organisations, with a particular emphasis on the opportunities that come from social software. I've done a lot of work with government around the digital engagement agenda, including stints at Number 10, BIS, UKTI etc. My main focus at the moment is on local government.

I've been blogging about and promoting the use of social technology in government for five years or so. The current home of my writing on this is DavePress, whilst more personal thoughts are being recorded at Fragments.

I've got various profiles scattered about the web. Always happy to connect wherever you find me.

You have to do this when you click on any link on this site. I can manage but our newbies can't. Telewest says they aren't blocking ning. Ning won't reply to our requests for assistance. So we won't be visiting often. sorry. Pls email if you have anything important to tell or ask us. cheers
