[wdmmg-dev] Fwd: Venue, speakers for next week's sameAs on 'visualisation' - March 28

Mon Mar 21 18:35:24 UTC 2011

Not sure who knows about this new group that meets in London monthly. 
Fair number of silicon roundable / scifoocamp types.  This week might 
be particularly interesting to wdmmg, since its on data visualization.

best wishes,

Tim
