So would you be interested in setting up/maintaining a Remix London? We
would give you the code, help you find server space, and lots of tips/advice
on a remix project. Also any improvements you made to the code, could feed
back into any of the other remix projects round the country.

We could have inter-city remix competitions, and make it easy to link each
site to the others, as well as many other ideas. We'll talk more about it on
1st June.
