The calibre of the Isle of Man section of BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, has recently been reinforced by the appointment of a local committee member to high office in the Institute worldwide.

Steve Burrows, a director and treasurer of BCS Isle of Man, an international section of BCS The Chartered Institute for IT, has been appointed Vice Chair of the BCS Membership Board. The Membership Board is responsible for all aspects of membership for the Institute’s 70,000 members.

Bob Sullivan, Chairman of BCS Isle of Man, said “We’re delighted at Steve’s appointment, it is very rare for overseas members to achieve such important roles in BCS because of our limited opportunities to network with influential UK based members and the logistics of attending board meetings in the UK. Steve’s appointment not only reflects great credit and recognition to our Isle of Man section, but also ensures that overseas sections such as the Isle of Man are not forgotten when BCS is developing plans that will affect our professional members”.

Introducing ManxWiki

Owen — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 11:01:19 +0000

A wiki is a page or collection of Web pages designed to enable anyone who accesses it to contribute or modify content, using a simplified markup language. Wikis are often used to create collaborative websites and to power community websites. Our next event will present ManxWiki as a local initiative using this technology to provide a comprehensive and current information source about the Isle of Man. Here’s what the Wiki says about itself:

Wikis are information websites that allow any person to register as a user for the purpose of adding to the pages directly with their knowledge and experience on the specified subject. In the case of ManxWiki the subject is simply “The Isle of Man”, any aspect of local life that is deemed to be of value or interest for the benefit of others.

The beauty of ManxWiki is that if you find a page that is missing data that you already know about, YOU can easily add to the page for the benefit of others.

Come and meet the team behind ManxWiki, learn more about how wikis work and find out if you can help build up this new and exciting resource.
