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
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.
