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.
