Open source it now! & WordPress as a Platform
Details
Updated: Added directions
We have a great couple of talks lined up for the final meet-up of the year.
An inspiring talk from Adam Butler (http://www.lab.io) on why you should 'Open Source it Now!'
"Until recently I had been working on a single project in my spare time for two years, I love it but I also hate it a little… ok, a lot I guess. So I made a change, I open-sourced it and released it, hopefully for the better at least it seems that way so far. As somebody who doesn’t do things half-arsed I decided to do the same with everything else I’ve ever built (or at least the bits I have the code for). I want to talk about this change, why I made it and the good & bad that have followed."
Followed by Tim Stephenson (http://twitter.com/tstephen10) talking about 'Whats New in WordPress'
"Does the RESTful API mean Wordpress is finally an application platform? A recap of the recent announcements at Word Camp San Francisco. Then dig into the new JSON API that is intended to them it into a genuine web framework."
DIRECTIONS:
To get to the building:
From Browns (at the top of Park Row, bottom of the triangle), turn right and head up University Road. Cross over at the top, heading towards the Woodland Road (43) sign on the hedge/wall. Follow the path around to your left and enter the carpark and one way road. Keeping walking and follow the road as it curves around and the Queens Building is a little way down on your right hand side.
To get to the room:
Go through the main doors, straight through the set of doors in front of you, down the corridor and up the stairs to the first floor.
At the stairs, turn right, follow the corridor all the way (past several admin offices), go through the door at the end, turn right and the room (1.58) is the first on your right.
Parking:
All the parking around the building seems to be permit based so you're likely to need to park on a side street and/or at a meter if you are driving in. There are two NCP car parks close by Trenchard Street (entering from Lodge Street or Trenchard Street) (https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Trenchard+Street+Car+Park/@51.4556099,-2.5995355,17z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x48718dd73ed2b8c3:0x5253c44ed6590c3a) or West End Car Park (https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Europcar+Clifton+-+Car+Hire/@51.4555461,-2.6092755,3a,52.5y,32.07h,92.33t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1s2-k2QTQGaD1SPFEpl7iX7Q!2e0!4m6!1m3!3m2!1s0x48718dd73ed2b8c3:0x5253c44ed6590c3a!2sTrenchard+Street+Car+Park!3m1!1s0x0000000000000000:0x5c3d06b616cf65eb!6m1!1e1)
