The digital waterfall of a uk geek living on the edge
About admin
Ian Forrester
Manchester
I am a advocate for the XML, Open Standards, The Commons and Data Portability.
I live in Manchester, United Kingdom.
I am employed by the BBC and run the BBC Backstage Project, encouraging you to use our stuff to make your stuff (like: Mashed, Over the Air and Backstage beta)
I helped bring BarCamp to the UK via BarCampLondon and setup BarCampLondon2 and BarCampLondon3. I am also known for London Geekdinners and being involved in the data portability group.
I regularly blog, and can be found microblogging, planning trips and reading my subscriptions. I tend to upload media to Flickr, Blip.TV, Soundcloud and Slideshare. I generate metadata on Last.FM, Jaiku and Delicious. Network professionally at Linkedin and dabble more socially on Facebook.
