Re: [WSG] London Meetup for people interested in an informal discussion around web standards
Thanks Nick, etc. So sounds like the Web Standards London is allied (loosely!) with Web Standards group (webstandardsgroup.org), Web Standards London likes structured lectures followed by beer Pub Standards is developers talking about beer, with some Standards talk Web Standards Meetup London talks about web standards with beer and wine and cola or coffee in attendance. Sounds like plenty of room for everyone here. Anyone mind if I progress with gettingt attention for the group I just started (Web Standards Meetup London)?
