When:

Thursday 16th November, 6:00pm - 9:30pm

What:

Some people may choose to present a 5 minute lightning talk on what they're doing. Then little groups will form and people will work together on code! We'll encourage contributing good things back to open source projects, or maybe the launch of new projects.

Who:

Please sign up, listing your name, email address,phone/mobile number, where you are travelling from. If there's an idea/project/area of interest you'd like to talk about during the evening, please list that after your name. If you'd like, you can add your name as a WikiWord and create a bio page for yourself. If you do add yourself and later can't make the event please come back and change your information as places are limited for this event...

we look forward to seeing you and making this a fun London open source developer evening.

ZahedaBhorat sez : we've increased the number to 50 since the original number was filled up within 15 hours ! And don't forget to bring your laptop if you plan on sharing and coding with others.

35	DuncanCragg	joe.bean--cilux--org		I recently gave a talk at an internal ThoughtWorks conference on Web 2.0, REST, Microformats and Widgets. I was asked when I was going to implement my ideas! So I thought this might be a good place to start. It was basically about client-side assembly of RESTful widget streams some of which would be microformat streams. For example, geo microformat declaratively generates Google map for human user. Microformats and widgets all have their own URI, of course - some POSTable. Oh, just come along and I'll explain.. And it would be great to see all my old mates again in one place..	Chiswick
