OpenBusines, OpenMute and Creative Commons England & Wales are organizing a networking event this Friday - London's second MiniBar.
We will have a number of interesting free/open culture protagonists there as well as web 2.0 companies, journalists from the Guardian, Economist, Techcrunch etc..
We have 100+ attendees ranging from media representatives, eBay, Tate Media, Google, OS developers, different web design companies, Drupal user group, to last.fm, Tape it of the Internet, OFCOM, some VC's etc.
Next MiniBar
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 those 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.
After having 130+ of London's web crowd the 2nd MiniBar will happen at the same place on 8th of December.
This time we will have Saul Albert, Mikey Weinkove from 'The People Speak' presenting a very cool "mobile social networking" project - for a preview look at:
directionless.info
We also have an Open Call: If you do an interesting web 2.0 (or maybe 3.0) project and look for input, ideas, help with development send us a line and you can present for 5 minutes.
The MiniBar concept:
It's fun, it's free and you don't have to bring a sleeping bag. Come to Corbet Place for an early Friday 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.
The meetings will happen at the same place every month.
The meeting is organized by the people behind CreativeCommons England & Wales, OpenBusiness.cc, OpenMute.org and ShiftSpace.cc.
