Coming out of the haze of two substantial bids this week felt like light work in comparison:
- Finally submitted the Nesta digital r and d bid
- Agreed how we’d use our Nexus 7 tablets for the English Magic exhibition. Finally get to make an ebook!
- Waved goodbye to Mark who has been supporting our moving image digitisation programme
- Shared my ideas with our interim director about online tools for running projects
- Sat with marketing to discuss their input on the new website
- Mark P took me on a tour of the M shed kiosks as we work to switch over from using umbraco to run them to our collection management tool eMU
- Started to use basecamp for an internal project to showcase the benefit for the service. I suspect the Council has plans for project management across the landscape but no doubt it will something different…
- I have taken on a lot of the evaluation and performance role functions so had a positive session with Fay to look at the essentials
- Really enjoyed meeting an English Heritage contact to find out how they are going to be approaching digital and I’ve offered to lend a hand if they need
- Reviewed some tenders for a local partner. Please note that if you use public money we expect open practices and sharing of the outputs. If you don’t want to play then get off our court
- Shared the first visual designs of the website with a fairly wide group and was excited to see the design language work.
