The BL cafe can be ridiculously busy and probably would be tricky for
anyone to work out where a small group of Wikimedians are. The
Business and IP centre has a very nice lounge area but I don't think
they would want us to reserve tables, though I can ask the staff

Yes, good idea, but a two venue setup will confuse latecomers? So cafe
at 1pm, pub at 5pm?
I made an approach to the Bangla pedia people about running an event
in London, but not had any interest. I may try another tack, if I find
a language where they are interested in a London event I'll post
something on the UK wiki.

So I'm not sure how much of a barrier that is. From the publican's point
of view, the margins on almost anything other than alcoholic drinks
certainly used to be better, whether this is still the case I don't know.

Are most of the people interested in this located in London? If not I could
possibly look into organising a Hackathon somewhere in the East Midlands
(fairly central...) - Nottingham perhaps.

I don't suppose any of the people expressing interest in this thread would
be interested in taking a lead in organising something?
I can definitely see the Board agreeing to support something like this -
financially and otherwise as required - but far easier to do if there is a
volunteer who isn't
I'd appreciate such an event, there is more hacking than PHP hacking:
* javascript
* css
* templating
* bot coding
* regexen
* category hacking ?
* borging

Hi Lewis,
We also have meetups, in London particularly we have a monthly one.
They are good for a range of informal collaborations including showing
people some gadgets they might not have tried yet (and there is
usually one end of the table reserved for copyright afficionados). If

Hi,
I'm not a member of Wikimedia UK (because I can never find the money
when I think about joining), but I've noticed a lot of the events are
