London Wiki Wednesday social network:

London Wiki Wednesdays now has an easy to remember URL (which links to all of the wiki pages here), and a new Ning social network that you can contribute to. LondonWikiWednesdays.com links to this page, will always have the details of the next meeting, as well as a forum, photos, blog feeds, videos and a variety of wiki resources and links.

We also have a group you can join on Facebook.

Sponsorship opportunity:

We have Skype and Google lined up for follow on events, but we are always looking for venues and sponsors. Please contact David Terrar by mail or skype if you are interested.

Meeting content:

Jimmy Wales is in town and planning to attend and speak.

Anyone who attends can do a 5 minute show and tell on how they are using wiki and social media technology, but feel free to just come along and listen if you don't fancy presenting. We've got a bit lax at the last two meetings, but the 5 minute rule will be strictly adhered to from now on, to allow for more chat and networking time after the formal part of the session.

It would be good to have an Open Discussions in the agenda. Any suggestions for a topic or title:

I'm excited to see all these wikimedia folk coming along. I propose we give Jimmy extended time to speak (Looks like there's not many other people speaking anyway this time) -- Harry Wood - 3rd Dec 2007

Harry - that's the way we had planned it (see the agenda above) - David Terrar - 4th Dec 2007

Ah yes. Missed that. 40 minute slot for Jimmy. Good stuff. Looks like this is going to be a big one -- Harry Wood - 4th Dec 2007
