The event will run from 2pm til 6pm on the afternoon of the 12th November and be followed by a networking drinks reception.

In an afternoon packed with insightful and instructive case-studies delivered by social media specialists and clients at the helm of social media initiatives you’ll learn where to start, what to do, what works, what doesn’t, and what tools to use. Our aim is to make you social media savvy by sunset!

Unlike the one-way broadcast nature of traditional marketing, social media marketing is a series of ongoing ‘conversations’. Accordingly, the latter part of the afternoon deals with engagement and monitoring and how to use monitoring tools to track one’s brand and respond appropriately.

Winnaars via Twitter bekend
Ank Bijleveld-Schouten, staatssecretaris van Binnenlandse Zaken en Koninkrijksrelaties, zal tijdens een inspirerende lunchbijeenkomst voor de tweede keer de e-Participatie Award uitreiken. Eén aan het beste eParticipatie initiatief uit de samenleving en één aan het beste eParticipatie-initiatief van een overheid. De eParticipatie Award 2009 is een erkenning voor de getoonde inzet van burgers en overheden om digitale middelen voor burgerbetrokkenheid te gebruiken.

De winnaars zullen tijdens de bijeenkomst ook via Twitter bekend gemaakt worden @Burgerlink #ePAW09.

Na de uitreiking van de eParticipatie Award gaan de aanwezigen met iemand van de Rijksvoorlichtingsdienst en een opiniemaker in debat over hoe ambtenaren omgaan met web 2.0. Wat zijn de gevolgen en de consequenties van web 2.0? Wat kan en mag je wel als ambtenaar, wat mag je niet. De gespreksleiding is in handen van Erwin Blom.

Het debat wordt gevolgd door een lunch waar de deelnemers onder leiding van een aantal inspirerende tafelheren en - dames verder zullen praten over hoe de overheid de mogelijkheden van web 2.0 kan gebruiken om op een transparantere, interactievere en efficiëntere manier te werken.

Meldt je aan door een mail te sturen aan #ePAW09@burgerlink.nl

Weather you like it or not, weather you are in or out, there is a conversation going on. Social Media Today (sm2day) will help business executives learn from the best players in the field. Millions are now using social media tools to raise their voices and have them heard via electronic communities. How involved are you? Is your business part of “the discussion” as social media is often termed? How can you get started? Can your business really benefit from Social Media? At sm2day we provide answers communicators and business people need to make use of these valuable tools. We reveal this much needed advice and information through an objective group of speakers and experts who work, develop and brief social media innovation for businesses around the world.

This blog is not intended to market any one event, we would have created a static website for that. It is intended to be the start of a social media conversation. Tell us what’s missing on the agenda, what else you would like to see, give us your questions in advance so the speakers can prepare a great presentation. One which will enhance the conversation, provide invaluable advice and strategy for those who need it most, the people who want to engage the digital world.

We will also use the blog to give you updates and to post great links related to social media and business. At the same time, we’ll offer you some tools that will help you prepare for the events that shape the ways in which we should and will communicate in the future.

Let the this conversation officially begin…..

Entry is free, each slot is about 10-15 minutes, and afterwards we go for beers at a pub near Borough Market.

Here's the tentative line-up (subject to change):

(Speaker TBC), Canonical - Ubuntu Update
Julien Fourgeaud, Symbian - Managing the Symbian community
Jeremy Ruston, Osmosoft - HTML5 and the slow death of Flash
Leisa Reichelt, Disambiguity.com - Drupal 7 Update
Phil Hawksworth, The Team - Playing with each others toys: Developing with open technologies
Rain Ashford, BBC - Open Source Gaming for Handhelds
Robbie Clutton, BT - iPhone development using web technologies

Keep an eye on The Team's Twitter stream for updates.

Also, Andrew Back is bring along his art exhibition "No Numbers", fresh from an outing at the Horse Hospital:

"No Numbers" is a playful response to Foxx's seminal 1980 electronic music work, Mr No. The music is transformed into a sequence of numbers -- digital samples -- which the viewer is encouraged to copy down using the paper and pencils provided.

At a rate of one number per second it would take 4 weeks to transcribe the original 3'18" work in CD quality. The futility of this task reflects the artist's interest in what we may be compelled to do but that which is ultimately, humanly, impossible.

The reduction to a slow, seemingly random series of numbers highlights the essentially approximate nature of digital sampling. This links to the artist's interest in exploring the aesthetic and cultural questions suggested by the analogue-digital distinction.

The title of the piece suggests remix and reappropriation, but also codes for a putative request from the copyright holder of the original work. Downloading music, we're told, is theft. Four weeks of laborious, transcription seems more like pilgrimage."

Only a small fraction of the more than one billion Internet users create and add videos, photos, and mini-blog posts. The rest pay attention. They leave behind innumerable traces that speak to their interests, affiliations, likes and dislikes, and desires. Large corporations then profit from this interaction by collecting and selling this data. Social participation is the oil of the digital economy. Today, communication is a mode of social production facilitated by new capitalist imperatives and it has become increasingly difficult to distinguish between play, consumption and production, life and work, labor and non-labor.

The revenues of today's social aggregators are promising but their speculative value exceeds billions of dollars. Capital manages to expropriate value from the commons; labor goes beyond the factory, all of society is put to work. Every aspect of life drives the digital economy: sexual desire, boredom, friendship — and all becomes fodder for speculative profit. We are living in a total labor society and the way in which we are commoditized, racialized, and engendered is profoundly and disturbingly normalized. The complex and troubling set of circumstances we now confront includes the collapse of the conventional opposition between waged and unwaged labor, and is characterized by multiple “tradeoffs” and “social costs”—such as government and corporate surveillance. While individual instances are certainly exploitative in the most overt sense, the shift in the overall paradigm moves us beyond the explanatory power of the Marxian interpretation of exploitation (which is of limited use here).

Free Software and similar practices have provided important alternatives to and critiques of traditional modes of intellectual property to date but user agency is not just a question of content ownership. Users should demand data portability, the right to pack up and leave the walled gardens of institutionalized labor à la Facebook or StudiVZ. We should ask which rights users have beyond their roles as consumers and citizens. Activists in Egypt have poached Facebook's platform to get their political message out and to organize protests. Google's Image Labeler transforms people’s endless desire for entertainment into work for the company. How much should Google pay them to tag an image? Such payment could easily become more of an insult than a remuneration. Currently, there are few adequate definitions of labor that fit the complex, hybrid realities of the digital economy.

This conference confronts the urgent need to interrogate what constitutes labor and value in the digital economy and it seeks to inspire proposals for action. Currently, there are few adequate definitions of labor that fit the complex, hybrid realities of the digital economy. The Internet as Playground and Factory poses a series of questions about the conundrums surrounding labor (and often the labor of love) in relation to our digital present:

Is it possible to acknowledge the moments of ruthless exploitation while not eradicating optimism, inspiration, and the many instances of individual financial and political empowerment?
What is labor and where is value produced?
Are strategies of refusal an effective response to the expropriation of value from interacting users?
How is the global crisis of capitalism linked to the speculative performances of the digital economy?
What can we learn from the “cyber sweatshops” class-action lawsuit against AOL under the Fair Labor Standards Act in the early 1990s?
How does this invisible interaction labor affect our bodies? What were key steps in the history of interaction design that managed to mobilize and structure the social participation of bodies and psyches in order to capture value?
Most interaction labor, regardless whether it is driven by monetary motivations or not, is taking place on corporate platforms. Where does that leave hopeful projections of a future of non-market peer production?

- Trebor Scholz

Each OGN consists of two keynote talks of 15 minutes each. There are also frenetic bursts of socialising, sometimes adverts for other local groups, but always interspersed with two sets of 5-minute-long microslot sessions.

== Keynotes ==

Keynote speakers are invited to talk at Oxford Geek Nights. Our current confirmed keynote is:

* Linked data on data.gov.uk, by Jeni Tennison, independent consultant specialising in markup technologies and the semantic web.
* Drupal, the semantic web and SEO (tbc), by Fintan Galvin, managing director of IO1 Ltd

== Microslots ==

These are five-minute "lightning" talks that anyone can volunteer for. They're easy to do: pick something that excites you, or a project you've worked on that you think might be of interest; then talk to a friendly audience for just five minutes with a handful of slides. Submit your microslot and we'll see you on the night!

http://natbat.wufoo.com/forms/oxford-geek-night-microslot-proposal/

Currently confirmed microslots:

* Indie Games Oxford, by Gobion Rowlands
* Theatricalia, by Matthew Somerville
* Open Hardware, by Andrew Katz
* Hyperlocality and access to data (tbc), by Zach Beauvais

== The Pitch ==

The Pitch is a series of 60-second open-mic slots, where you can say whatever you want for at most a minute. Advertise a vacancy, announce an event, big-up a local user group or some other society, offer your services or just say hello.

Interested in pitching? Contact me to reserve a slot.

(OGN15 is a FREE event, sponsored by Torchbox, Guardian Open Platform and Moo.)
