MiniCamp May Meetup

Next MiniBar is on the 25th of May

Hi all

at last MiniBar we had 250 guests geeking out, networking, planning new sites and just having fun.
The great news is that O'Reilly - in addition to BBC Innovation - will help us making the next MiniBar even cooler
We are still working on programme, but if you have a cool start up idea send us an email at [masked]

You think about creating the next Last.fm, Flickr, or Web 2.0 start up? You think London lacks opportunities to meet up and discuss those ideas?

Then come to MiniBar where you will meet truly useful people. MiniBar is a social evening in East London which offers people a chance to snaffle some free beer while discussing p2p, Creative Commons, web applications, social networking and general Web 2.0 (3.0) mayhem & fandango. Here you can find people who will help you making your next project work - you can find designers, coders. journalists and even investment. The event is what we call 'useful fun'. Usually there are 200+ of London's - and beyond - finest web entrepreneurs.

Who you will meet?

From famous digerati and tech investors such as Esther Dyson (angel investor in Flickr and delcious), Mark Shuttleworth (Ubuntu), to tech journalists (Guardian, BBC), bloggers (OpenBusiness etc), Open Source developers (Drupal, Ubuntu), web designers, Creative Commons enthusiasts, web entrepreneurs (last.fm, eCourier, Tioti) to many coders, media artists and other generally useful, interesting and hyper connected people.
Past presentations include: Drupal user group, Esther Dyson, Directionless.info, Magnatune, BookMoch, Tioti, Modfilms, BurnStation, Mix&Mash
What's Next?

We have started a job board where you can find people with the skills you need, or where you can post a project idea, offer your skills and find interesting people to work with. In the future a dedicated website will extend the job-board with an online presence.
