Please RSVP http://internetpro.meetup.com/10/calendar/5292318/

Description: 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 venue on the 8th of December.

For a review and some pictures of the 1st MiniBar see: http://www.openbusiness.cc/2006/11/22/minibar/ This time we will have Saul Albert speaking about a very cool "mobile social networking" project - for a preview look at: directionless.info We also have an Open Call: If you do a cool 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. We will continue with 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 venue every month: Corbet Place in the Old Truman Brewery. The meeting is organized by the people behind CreativeCommons England & Wales, OpenBusiness.cc, OpenMute.org and ShiftSpace.cc.

We will be sponsoring minibar Jan

After not being able to stop speaking for more than a few seconds at the last event, I decided that everyone attending needed to be using Drupal - and so we will be sponsoring the January event. 

So many of the people I met last month were already into Drupal or planning to move to Drupal, I would encourage anyone with an interest in getting Drupal adopted even more to get over and evengelise.
