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).


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.

When?

Friday 17 November 2006 17.30. Talk at 18.30 -- and from then on, freeform. Arrive early before we drink all the beers.
