The offices are on the third floor.

We aim for people to arrive around 18:15 for a 19:00 formal start.

London Wiki Wednesday social network:

London Wiki Wednesdays now has an easy to remember URL (which links to all of the wiki pages here), and a new Ning social network that you can contribute to. LondonWikiWednesdays.com links to this page, will always have the details of the next meeting, as well as a forum, photos, blog feeds, videos and a variety of wiki resources and links.

We also have a group you can join on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2355889529

We will be looking for venues and sponsors for the subsequent events. Please contact David Terrar mail or skype if you are interested.

Comments

When you think about it, our previous labelling format " Attendee ( ) / speaker ( ) / listener ( ) " is a bit odd because... Why are you on the list if you are not attending? and why are you attending if you are not listening?? What we actually should label is: who is definitely planning to speak? who is possibly thinking about speaking? who is willing to speak? who is just there to listen? -- Harry Wood - 7th June 2007

We inherited an approach from the earlier wikis which was a bit ilogical but worked. Harry's suggestion is much clearer. Thanks! -- David Terrar on Jun 7 7:33am
