Jelly Liverpool is a Liverpool based network, that organises monthly pop up offices where freelancers can get together and work for the day. 

Here is a quick round up of Liverpool Digital events and news that has come across my desk (my inbox) in the past couple of weeks. 

Creative Kitchen returns with the Developer Breakfast

The Developer Breakfast is the Liverpool chin-wag hosted in order to share experiences, vent constructively and naturally build a Liverpool community of developers, creatives, designers and technically-minded entrepreneurs.

If you are a freelancer or work on a contract basis then this Digital Pop-up office is ideal for you as it brings together a wide range of people working in different fields. 

It was announced last week that a new festival is going to be gracing our already hectic Liverpool Festivals calendar in 2016 and to be honest it is about time to that we had a decent Digital Festival here.

TheNorth West Coast Academic Science network is looking for coders, geeks and anyone else interested to participate in a unique event, “Hacking Children’s Health” at the Institute in the Park, the brand new centre for research, education and innovation at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital.

Hot on the heels of the start of the Code for Liverpool project, Involve the charity and think tank behind public participation ideas in the UK have alunched an Open Governemnet Manifesto. 

Across the world we have seen the rise of Civic Coding projects.  What are these you ask - Well, they are a group of individuals with a variety of skills from coding, design, and user experience who come together and identify a problem that could be solved through the use of a digital solution for the betterment of society. 

These groups meet up, examine a problems and then apply themselves to solve the problem. Simply, these can be anything from looking at giving people accurate information on Bus Timetabling to helping people report fly tiping in their area.   

Would you like to attend a wearables and e-textiles, exploring how combining fabric and computers can make for interesting projects?

Want a belt that vibrates to lead you to free food? Or a suit which glows different colours based on your heart rate? How about a jacket sleeve that lights up when you're pointing North?

Head along to this Hack day and you can learn how to do just that (or at least make a start on it...).

There are more workshops to come from Thiago and Rademes, the two Brazillian Techno artists who have been based at FACT Liverpool for the last 6 months or so. These are free, fun and informative so do check them out.
