About
Our team of monkeys is constantly watching the smoke signals from the tech tribes around Jersey (Channel Islands)* so that you can keep up to date with what's happening from the comfort of wherever you're sitting. Since Guernsey is so close, the team is keeping an eye on them as well. Our mission is to:
- Share local content and expertise.
- Bring the local tribes together.
- Encourage an open, sharing and learning culture.
What?
Or to put that simply...
- Want to see who makes up the local digital community? Sure thing, we have a list of people and businesses.
- How about who is the most active in the community?
- Who is putting Jersey on the global stage and where are they speaking? Our list of talks should answer that.
- Maybe you just want to see who's talking about Microsoft SharePoint or CRM? No problem.
- Perhaps you want to know who's tweeting about Digital Jersey or BCS Jersey? We've got that covered.
- Or maybe you fancy a drink with some local geeks? We can find social gatherings for you too.
If you're looking for something related to the local technology industry, you'll find it here. If not, it doesn't exist or the locals are too quiet. Enjoy the journey! :-)
* people have said that specifying "(Channel Islands)" is "cute" ... but this is old Jersey that we're talking about, not New Jersey!
