Next meeting Wikimedia types in London

Saturday March 8th, at the Pembury Tavern.

Looks like attendance will be low...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/London_8

That's OK. Nice pub, free wifi, excellent beer and food, several bus
routes, and till software that is written in Python. The website is
updated by a push from the till, so the range of beers is very up to
date.

Topics for discussion? Recent articles featured such as:

There is no train service from Stratford to Hackney Wick on Saturday
8th March (bus replacement) but the service from Liverpool Street to
Hackney Downs look fine - that journey takes seven minutes.

Hey Gordo et al.,

 sorry about that! I had a lot of other business to take care off and
considering that everybody else had cancelled / not signed up (e.g
TheEgyption) I decided to just give it a miss this time.

However, in the future it seems that a monthly event is difficult due to
demand and problems in setting a date that everybody can actually
manage.

I have some ideas for the future, but am quite busy with work and
studies, which means I might not have the time in the near-future to act
on them.

Can I suggest that we set another (provisional?) date now, at the
Pembury, as see how many people can make it? How about April 19th or
April 20th?

I went for quick drink and left just before the TheEgyptian arrived!

Following various ideas (that is not the Pembury Tavern and not in
the evening) we have suggested a lunchtime meeting in Central London.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Meetup/London_8

The proposal is to have a Wikimeet at the Penderel's Oak near Holborn
Tube station on Sunday April 13th 2008.

This venue has pedigree, in that Jimbo was there on 2004-12-03

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/London2

with quite a people including "David Gerard (maybe)"....

Transport looks good that day, with no planned works on the Tube. The
Penderel's Oak is a Wetherspoons (Lloyd's Bar) so there is Sunday
lunch on offer with several options including veggie roast.

Indeed: I know you were there, since I looked at the photographs!

I have suggested to Ian that we promote this date formally as the the
next London Wikimeet...
