Manchester Free Software

On Tuesday 22nd July, Ian Forrester introduces us to BBC Backstage.

BBC Backstage is a developer network for the public in which the BBC opens its doors to as much data and content as possible. Now in its third year, Backstage is changing to reflect the changes in the landscape and placement in industry.

Ian Forrester, the head of Backstage, will explain some of the changes and outline some the big topics which Backstage are tackling ahead of the rest of the BBC and its unclear future in its new home of Salford Quays.

The event is in our usual location, the Manchester Digital Development Agency, beginning at 19:00. More about the meetings and venue can be found on our meetings page.

Update: Video from the talk is now available in Theora and other formats

We have been asked to publish details of the administrative meetings on the site, so here goes:

• Date: Monday, 14th July
• Time: 19:00
• Location: The Waterhouse

There is usually a set agenda, yet to be written. If there’s anything you’d like to be brought up contact us. You can find the minutes of June’s meeting on the FSF Groups Wiki.
