Dear all,

the Linked Data Meetup in London on September 9th now has a program:
http://www.meetup.com/Web-Of-Data/calendar/11056905/

This meetup is for people who are interested in learning about Linked Data
on the Web, people working on making data available on the web, people
building infrastructure and applications for the Web of Data, and people who
are interested in how to apply Linked Data technologies within their
enterprises.

The response to our invitation to bring the Linked Data community together
for an event in London has been amazing so far: 90 people signed up already,
and we just started to reach out.

In addition to presentation and lightning talk sessions with a great lineup
of speakers, we will also host two panels with special guests: 
"Linked Government Data" and "the Future of Journalism".

For the detailed program, please visit the meetup page above. 

See you in London,

Georgi & Silver
