Sponsorship opportunity:
We have are trying to get Skype and Google lined up for follow on events, but the reason for the long haitus has been to do with the difficulty of getting venues and sponsors. Please contact David Terrar by mail or skype if you are interested.
Meeting content:
Anyone who attends can do a 5 minute show and tell on how they are using wiki and social media technology, but feel free to just come along and listen if you don't fancy presenting. We've got a bit lax at the last two meetings, but the 5 minute rule will be strictly adhered to from now on, to allow for more chat and networking time after the formal part of the session.
It would be good to have an Open Discussions in the agenda. Any suggestions for a topic or title:
