After the success of TechEd recently, my colleague Darren Hague, floated the idea of a local community day in London.
The initial thought is a date in April. Community day in Munich was a blast so there is no reason we couldn’t do that over here too.
So all we need now is some warm bodies, eager minds, a bit of that old unconference spirit, a venue to hold it in and someone to sponsor a bit of food and beer. Any takers?

A fine idea, count me in as the token suit.

Hi Nigel,
Great that hear that you enjoyed the Community Day in Munich.
Would be cool to have one in London too.
Use the wiki to organize:

We may want to add the Calendar Plugin in one of our next wiki updates. (Don’t hold your breath
With the current functionality you should be able to coordinate with interested parties and organize space, time and sessions …
Let’s see who can pull it off first Ignazio in Argentina or you in London.
Good luck and let me know how we can help, Mark.

Hi Nigel
I missed TechEd in Munich as I was on holiday that week in Portugal. I’d love to be part of such a Community Day in London.
Count me in!

They might even let me out of the country to visit that one

After having to give Munich a miss this sounds like a rather splendid idea, Nigel. I shall do my utmost to participate in the suggested spectacle, old bean.
Count me in.
