Barnet (or close by) Nework Managers' Group

[birchanger]

Me and another local NM have been mulling over the idea of setting up a common interest group for NMs and equivalent in the Barnet area (always assuming, of course, that such a group doesn't already exist).

 

We forsee the group doing the following:

 

• Discussing just about any item of interest to schools' IT staff
  
• Recommending (and disrecommending) vendors and products
  
• Maintaining a secure repository of what technologies and software are in use at member schools, so that we have resources to call upon when considering purchases or when problems arise
  
• Devising common solutions to common problems
  
• Share news, such as virus outbreaks, scams, sucess stories
  
• Socialise (maybe)
  
• 
  

 

If the group becaus large enough it could branch out into procurement, and act as a pressure group when required for dealings with bodies such as LGfL.

 

Meetings venues would rotate around the schools, perhaps with the hosting school chairing the meeting.

 

Please PM if interested.
