Hi
Apologies for sending this to the global talk mailing list but, well,
everyone's invited! Thought you'd be interested to know about a free
unconference that's happening in London in March.
WhereCamp EU follows on from successful events that have run around the time of
the O'Reilly Where 2.0 conference in the US. Following the "BarCamp" format the
conference is free to attend (though ticketed to manage numbers) and anyone
that attends can talk, in fact it's expected! No schedule is announced before
the event, a whiteboard or similar is marked up with timeslots on the day and
anyone can grab a slot to talk about what's on their mind. As a "Where" Camp it
has a focus on all things to do with location technology. Maps, GPS, Mobile
devices, anything and everything relating to "Where". With lots of OSM mappers
in London and the UK it's likely there'll be a big OSM contingent.
Lots more information can be found on the site: http://wherecamp.eu/
It's happening over the weekend of the 13th March. Probably Friday & Saturday
though we're having a few issues around venues. This should be sorted out by
the time the next round of tickets is released.
We're also looking for sponsorship, if anyone wants to get their logo in front
of a hundred or so of location tech's brightest minds then take a look at this
page for more info:

People on local lists might want to translate this and forward it on if they
think others might want to come along. Don't forget that there's a US WhereCamp
just a few weeks after the EU event so if you can't make it over to London
perhaps you'll be able to get to Mountain View -

Hope to see you there!
