Until this Summer Oliver had a very successful web design agency, Silktide, for the last 10 years.  He simultaneously ran a successful web app, Siteray, for the last five years. The web agency allowed him to get started but Oliver knew the scalable opportunity lay in software.

This year Oliver closed the doors of this web design agency to focus purely on his products SiteBeam and SiteRay. Oliver will be telling us his story and the reasons why he’s made this decision. You can read more about his story here: Why we gave up web design after 10 successful years

Oliver is a passionate, enthusiastic and often out spoken speaker. You can find more about him at his a popular blog:  http://blog.silktide.com/

Following on from Phil Campbell’s fantastic February Social Media talk on his  http://helpbuildtheark.com eco-project, we now look at how Social Media is helping the homeless and other charitable causes.

Framework is a Nottingham based homelessness charity providing housing, support, training, care and resettlement services to over 8,000 homeless and vulnerable people throughout the East Midlands.

Janet Lawless, Communications Officer and John Leighton of Framework will giving the talk.

As a small charity Framework are creatively leveraging Social Media to  spread the news of all their good work. Framework  is relatively new to Social media but they have already engaged well with Twitter, Facebook and YouTube over the last year.

Framework will also explore how other charitable organisation, such as Shelter, have utilised Social Media to raise the profile of homeless people.

The Nott Tuesday talk from Framework coincides with their 10th Anniversary and 10 Days of Action. This includes a Royal visit on Tuesday 12 July by HRH The Duke of Gloucester to open two important new Framework services.

This should be a very interesting talk on how Social Media can be used to really help vulnerable people.

So, to summarise:

18:30 – 20:30 at Antenna, Nottingham 12th July

Speaker: Framework, Social Media helping the world

June’s Nott Tuesday has been rescheduled to Tuesday the 7th of June from the 14th . This is due to the Nottingham Digital Recruitment Roadshow (NDRR) needing to run on the 14th at Antenna. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Andy Warwick, a highly experienced Nottingham based iOS (iPhone and iPad) design and programming specialist, will be sharing his vision of the future of mobile at June’s Nott Tuesday.

Andy will be joined by Lucy Hererras-Giffiths from Kuku Apps and Charlotte Thomson-Morley from CreativeNottingham to share their experiences of designing and implementing the new CreativeNottingham iPhone App.

Mobile is a hot topic right now. Smart phones have been talked about for many years and are now coming into fruition with the huge growth and success of Google Android and Apple iPhone.

Andy will be talking about mobile operating system market, and his predictions as to where the industry is heading, with particular focus on the market leaders, Google Android and Apple iOS. Andy will also tackle the question which platform(s) you should develop for from a business point-of-view.

CreativeNottingham is a voluntary team of creative individuals and small businesses who work to connect Nottingham’s creative and digital communities through their online blog and other social media outlets.

CreativeNottingham relies on social media and accessibility. Their app was created as a collaborative project with Kuku Apps, as a new way to engage with the CreativeNottingam blog and community. It has created an easy way to access the blog, community website and twitter feeds in one location.

Finally, we have Paul Singh Bhatia the General Manager of GRACE (Nottingham University Geospatial Building) who’ll be launching the UK European Satellite navigation Competition. This competition is a chance to win £1000′s of funding. Last year Zapp Taxi took the award with their Mobile (iPhone) app.

It should be a very exciting mobile filled Nott Tuesday on the 1st Tuesday of the month!

So, to summarise:

18:30 – 20:30 at Antenna, Nottingham 7th June
