TechAlliance’s IT Week wrapped up last night with a community mixer. All the events were well attended. Two things stand out in my mind.

First, London IT companies are doing a much better job of letting the community know about them. It is becoming more of a community than a group of islands, which bodes well for the future of London’s IT sector.

Second, there was some excellent discussion dealing with common issues such as human resources and the promotion of London’s IT sector outside of London. TechAlliance (including its IT advisory council which I am on) will make good use of that feedback.

On a related note, London’s Digital Extremes is to be congratulated on their release of their latest game – Dark Sector – for the XBox and PS3. Their launch party was held last night. The game has been well received by reviewers – early indications are that sales will be brisk.
