Meeting on Upcoming

Does Birmingham have a Web Scene?

Over in our forum there’s been some interesting discussion of
the web scene in the city
, how it compares with London and Brighton, what can be done to link up the diverse groups that exist around the west midlands and how to make the area more “web geek friendly”.

More Moseley Barcamp

As part of the Moseley festival enterprising blogging types are planning an unconference on June 28th. They’ve organising along a panels concept, and we think it’d be neat to have a Multipack
presence. So if you’re interested, head over to the forums and suggest some ideas and sign up to be involved:

Tapping Patterns

We all like a good CSS gallery, but sometimes it’s useful to see how different designers have approached a common web design problem. Patterntap is a nicely organised visual dictionary of
web design elements.

Digitally British?

The government produced something called the Digital Britain Interim Report, it covers stuff we’re interested in like investment in UK Digitial content, online government and access for all. Unfortuantely it’s all from a government perspective. There’s an event in Brum on May 12th to discuss the concept and feed back from actual people about how to “secure Britain’s place at the forefront of the global digital economy.”

Done Something Worth Shouting About?

If you have anything that you’d like included next time, whether it’s a new project or event to announce or a blog you think we should all be reading, drop us a line at multipackadmin at gmail.com
