Web Standards Group Meeting: Victorian Government Meets Web 2.0

At next Monday’s WSG meeting in Melbourne, Chris Sampson (Parisfirst Partners) and Ian Stewart (Office of the Premier of Victoria) will be talking about the building of the Premier’s web site — the first Victorian Government site to use Web 2.0 media.

The event will be held at Loop Bar in the city.

Chris will discuss why Joomla! and YouTube were chosen, and how other design and build issues were solved. Ian will talk about improvements to the original site, including implementing Flickr and the first live webcast, as well as some insight into where Victorian Government is heading online.

As always, the event is FREE and promises to be a good show. We’ve had 83 RSVPs so far, but we’re keen to see if we can crack 100 again (we’ve done it before!). Spread the word amongst your friends and workmates, and I hope to see you there!
