Dear all,

Yesterday's London meetup had at least fourteen people with three or four
new or newish faces.

We had four people who'd recently returned from Wikimania at Esino Lario in
Italy and they all gave some very positive feedback about the venue, the
event and much that happened there. For once the WMF related discussion was
all very positive with some hope for the new CEO and Chair.

Other discussion ranged from some possible events, and an update on what's
happened on wiki recently for a returnee who'd last been active in 2012,

Unusually for a London meetup, politics was also a significant topic at
least at one end of the table. As you'd expect of Londoners there were far
more Remainers than Brexiters, but for a post referendum discussion it was
quite nuanced with some people for whom it had been a complex decision, and
of course there was discussion about the On wiki impact unusually we
had British
stories in the traffic report!.
