BarCamp SouthEast is taking place in Waterford on Saturday 20th January. If you want to attend, then please sign up on the wiki, or send your name to barcampsoutheast at gmail dot com. You can also follow the planning on the blog. We'll be heading down on the Saturday morning and staying in the Ramada that night - plans are currently being made for dinner and drinks afterward.
The last BarCamp was a ball of fun and as far as I know, everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. My talk seemed to be well received, so I've agreed to do another one, entitled 'Death and Divorce in the Digital World'.
Now to avoid confusion, I'm not talking about death of avatars in Second Life or similar - Sabrina Dent is the Second Life expert and she will be talking again to "Second Life and Virtual World opportunities" - her talk was excellent the last time and a lot of people were sorry to have missed it!
My interest area this time is leading a session on how we deal with death of a partner or a divorce in this technological age - how do we decide on how the shared digital information that a couple have accumulated is distributed or shared?
In the case of the sudden death of a partner, how do you access their e-mail accounts and stored online information? What do you do in the case of certain services that are registered in their name, such as Video on demand services?
Alternatively, if a divorce is messy and one partner chooses to lock their ex-partner out of some online information (e.g. a shared e-mail account), how do you go about either preventing or resolving this?
This is really all the planning I have done this far, I'm going to need to flesh this out a bit more in the next few weeks and prep some slides to go with it - here's hoping it will go down as well as the last one!

Wow! Who would have ever thought of all these details of modern break ups? Glad you are there because someone has to foresee them, as they will happen!
