Hi London Web,

I've just opened 35 spots for this Thursday, if you haven't been in a while, why not RSVP here - we have a great new venue with our own bar staff and much more space than before:

The venue is very classy, and the location is just to the left (Freddie Murcury's right) tucked in behind Oxford Street and a couple of hundred meters from Tottenham Court Road tube exit. A HotelMap link is coming soon.

============ Details for this month are =============

We're excited to announce this months Awesome Speaker: Richard Stirling - who is the head of "Making Public Data Public" and data.gov.uk.

Before creating data.gov.uk Richard worked on the
secretary for the Power of Information Taskforce. In that role he
created Show Us A Better Way, one of the first online competitions in
Public Services. Prior to joining Cabinet Office Richard worked in HM
Treasury where he was engaged in both tax and public spending policy.

Richard will be discussing an overview of the data.gov.uk project since it's launch in January this year, and where he sees it
going.

Also, speaking on mapping and geolocation using PHP, Derick Rethens will help you to understand more about embedding and calculating distances, map directions, plotting routes, and generally using the many mapping APIs available today.

See you this thursday!
