I'm at Barcamp Canberra 2011 today. I kicked off the morning with a talk about social software for workforce collaboration. I'll be talking later about the intersection of Gov 2.0 and Social Innovation.

As promised, I've updated my BarCamp Canberra 2010 slides about Project 8 with the audio recording of my talk. Its worth listening all the way through to the end, as the last 1/3 of the audio recording includes some discussion with the audience with some great points from people like Kate Lundy and Craig Thomler.

And remember, after you've listened to the presentation get out there and start remixing the Project 8 materials for your agency or government department!

I've updated my slides from BarCamp Canberra 2010 with the audio recording to turn them into a 'slidecast'.

This is also very similiar to my presentation for the Hargraves Institute's Innovation 2010 conference last week, although I also talked there about Social Innovation Camp and a client case study (about a private social network we recreated) as examples of Social Business Design in action.

BTW I'll also be adding an audio track to my Project 8 presentation from BarCamp as soon as it has uploaded!

It was a really pleasant surprise to find Anne Faulkner, from the UK's online centres, here in Australian and attending BarCamp Canberra 2010. Anne is a champion for digital inclusion in the UK and does it in a way that I don't think I've seen anyone do here in Australia just yet.

Anne Faulkner, Head of Policy and Business Development for the UK online centres network, kindly agreed to share her observations from BarCamp Canberra 2010 about the differences between the UK and Australia in terms of social innovation and digital inclusion.

This is a montage of short clips filmed (using my Flip video camera) at Barcamp Canberra 2010, which explores some of the themes of Government 2.0 and Social Innovation from the day.

BTW My slides from Barcamp ('Remixing Gov 2.0' and 'Hello. My Name is, Social Business Design.') and the session I ran on Gov 2.0 on Friday (which is really the extended version of my Barcamp presentation) are also all available online.

I was really, really disappointed that I couldn't make it to BarCampSydney#5, even more so after reading Kate's write up about the vibe of the day. She included a few photos and this is my favourite as it describes the BarCamp ethos so well, "open, participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants". Of course I was supposed to be there to rally the post #publicsphere discussion about Government 2.0, but luckily Rob Manson (who as far as I know, I've never met in person?) stepped in to help herd the cats after I put in a call for help. But then that's BarCamp, right?
