Welcome

Hi, I’m Matt Jukes. I’m from Bristol.

The main topics of this blog are how education and public sector organisations are coping with this new social web world and how the social web and movements like Barcamps are disrupting the world of conferences and events.

I am currently working at JISC as a Programme Manager.

Most recently I was working for Becta and before that Jiva Technology, a startup in Bristol that is building a suite of learning focused web applications. 

I previously held various roles at JISC over the course of almost 5 years and have also worked for both the ESRC and HEFCE in a variety of web related roles.

I was also the main organiser for the Bettr Unconference for people interested in education web start-ups and am planning an event based on the Interesting format (West of Interesting) in Bristol early in 2010.

I am frequently on Twitter – http://twitter.com/jukesie and also have a Tumblr tumblog at http://quickpint.org where I bookmark any links that I find interesting. I also blog at Quiet Night In about comics, TV and movies.
