• Screen WM | Hello Digital – A Challenge – Jason Hall on who to take to the Hello Digital event: "How about if every single person who is digitally engaged makes a commitment to register and bring along a client, a small business owner, cultural organisation etc that isn’t?

• eGov monitor – Q&A with Glyn Evans, CIO Birmingham City Council – It's the answer to question 4 that's the interesting one. Refers to #BCCDIY
