Dear all Obviously its already been blogged but I'd just like to let the list know that Backstage finally has a new Senior Producer. We're ummed and aahed for what seemed like forever but I'm now delighted that veteran of the list, Mr Geek Dinner and UK Barcamp co-organiser: Ian Forrester has taken up our offer to run the project. http://www.cubicgarden.com/blojsom/blog/cubicgarden/
He's not due to start for a few weeks but as he blogged this morning is really looking forward to knocking it into shape: "I already have plans in my head for increasing the profile of backstage and of course providing more public feeds and apis. There's also lots of areas where backstage could go which hasn't been visited yet. So don't worry folks I'm on the case with fresh thoughts and enthusiasm like you've never seen before." http://www.cubicgarden.com/blojsom/blog/cubicgarden/socialsoftware/offli ne/2006/08/23/Senior-Producer-at-backstage-bbc-co-uk.html There's a lot more the BBC could and should be doing with Backstage and I hope you'd join me in wishing Ian good luck in joining the team. He's exactly the right fella for the role. Thanks for your patience whilst we've been sorting this out. Btw: If you're going you'll be able to say hi to Ian and Backstage (well some BBC staffers and t shirts) at British Barcamp - http://barcamp.org/BarCampLondon And D Construct - http://2006.dconstruct.org/ Thanks Jem - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
