[okfn-discuss] Fw: [uo] Invititation: First MiniBar London

Tue Nov 7 19:13:48 UTC 2006

dear all,

I, I'm not sure what to say about this, so perhaps it's safer to say
nothing at all. However, it includes the magic 'free beer' keywords.

Hi all

I know all of you like to discuss and think about web 2.0, music and 
film sharing/remixing, p2p, or Creative Commons. San Francisco has the 
Creative Commons Salon, other cities regular BarCamps, or so called new 
media gatherings. But there is no regular meeting space for this London. 
It should be a good opportunity to meet new and interesting people, 
discuss creative ideas and have some fun. 

So we - Creative Commons England&Wales, Openbusiness.cc, OpenMute and 
The People Speak - are organizing the first *MiniBar* on Friday the 17th 
in the Truman Brewery. There will be some free beer (as in Free).

More info at: http://barcamp.org/minibar
RSVP: info at openbusiness.cc <mailto:info at openbusiness.cc>

Pls pass the announcement below around widely - mailing lists, friends, 
blogs etc.. It should be fun, so please help and pass this around

*MiniBar -- London*

Your Monthly Face To Face

You think about creating the next Last.fm, flickr, or Web 2.0 start up? 
You think London lacks opportunities to meet up and discuss these ideas?

For those who don't have time to attend a full BarCamp, some of us have 
come up with *MiniBar*, a chance to snaffle some free beer while 
discussing p2p, Creative Commons, web applications, social networking 
and general Web 2.0 mayhem & fandango.

It's fun, it's free and you don't have to bring a sleeping bag. Come to 
Corbet Place for an early *Friday 17th Nov* evening get together the at 
Truman Brewery (off Brick Lane, next to Spitalfields Market and 
Liverpool Street Station). There's a (normal sized) bar, a DJ, and some 
nice people to chat to. Who knows, you even might find out something you 
didn't know. For the first one John Buckman of Magnatune.com and 
Bookmooch.com will say a couple of words about music sharing, p2p 
philosophy and Creative Commons.

We will also be trialling our very Situated Social Tagging system! Think 
people, not URLs, and sticky-backed tags! More on the night...
- The meetings will happen at the same place every month.
- The meeting is organized by the people behind CreativeCommons England 
& Wales, OpenBusiness.cc, OpenMute and Shiftspace.cc.
