Positive steps have been taken today.
The AdvantagWM Twitter account has been registered for the communications team to use. Sarah and I shall be investigating what sort of conversations audiences are having about AWM, and will endeavour to monitor audience conversations on a regular basis.
Contact has been made with Andrew Mackenzie, one of the core team behind http://mappa-mercia.org/ , which is formed from code drawn from the Open Street Map platform, http://www.openstreetmap.org/
Andrew and I spoke at length on the telephone, and I have been invited to attend an event in central Birmingham on Thursday evening, meet with Brian Prangle and Andy Robertson, the other members of the OSM development team. Instructions and behind-the-scenes help have been promised. I’m hoping my brain can take it all in- this will be completely new territory for me.
It transpires that the original design and coding for the AWMist platform was commissioned by AWM into OSM, and a contractor from Germany was used. I have requested that Andrew draw up a similar proposal based on the AWM IT services cluster done originally, to allow for an extra section button to be added to the original platform.
Also, I relayed the above information to Lis by telephone. She informed me that Mike Musson will be joining us at the meeting on Thursday. This is very good news because we can now talk specifically about how best to integrate, develop and implement the audio/video tagging idea.
