DavePress is a blog about the impact that social technology has on organisations, with a particular slant on the public sector.
It’s published under a creative commons licence, meaning you can republish, remix and reuse the content here in anyway you like – as long as you’re not directly making money out of it. If you do have a scheme for making my stuff pay, that’s probably fine too – but let’s have a chat first.

DavePress is mostly written by me, Dave.
I work as Community Evangelist for Learning Pool – the public sector eLearning exchange. I make noise about the company and the great work we do, as well as finding interesting projects to get involved in.
I’ve been blogging about and promoting the use of social technology in government for five years or so. The current home of my writing on this is here at DavePress, whilst more personal thoughts are being recorded occasionally at Fragments.
I kicked off the LocalGovCamp movement, and organised the most recent UKGovCamp – these are unconferences for government types. I’ve worked at small district councils, big Whitehall departments, and even 10 Downing Street. I strategise, train, speak, consult, interview, convene and curate.
I’ve got various profiles scattered about the web. Always happy to connect wherever you find me.
It goes without saying, but I’ll say it anyway, that the content of my posts is mine and does not necessarily represent the views of anyone that I work for, have worked for, or, indeed, will work for.
Breda Doherty
I’m going to be joined on an increasingly regular basis by Breda, my partner in crime at Learning Pool. Breda’s role is essentially to do everything in her power to prevent me from ballsing things up. Here’s what she has to say about herself:
“Dave says I’m here to stop him ‘ballsing things up’, but I like to think I’m here to streamline his work process-O.K maybe that’s a fancy way of saying I’m here to stop Dave ballsing things up!
“With a background in Journalism, radio and e-learning, I am the Learning Pool team member providing project support to Dave across the many innovative and exciting projects in the pipeline as part of his now full-time work with the company. I also write posts on web 2.0 and social media from a less geeky; sorry I mean less technically advanced perspective than Dave’s…
“Under the well placed Learning Pool umbrella Dave and I are exploring the possibilities which exist between public sector organisations and collaborative and social learning technology; feel free to contact me with any enquiries or suggestions you have on this area – if it’s in any way interesting or even slightly out there we want to hear about it!”
