WikiWednesday with Sue Gardner and Jimbo Wales.

[reddragdiva]

loopzilla posted this to wikimediauk-l, and it just so happens that WMF executive director Sue Gardner is in town that day too. I tried to arrange a meet before I realised the other event was on, and two events is silly, so let's just have one, eh?

Jimmy Wales has been invited to speak at this month's event. London wikiwed 5 December 2007

The event will be hosted by NYK Shipping (thanks to Alek Lotoczko) and SocialText will be footing the bill for - pizzas, beer and wine (thanks to Ross Mayfield and Ross Hargreaves). The address is NYK Line, 17th Floor, CityPoint, 1 Ropemaker Street, London EC2Y 9NY. Nearest Tube is Moorgate.

We aim for people to arrive around 18:15 for a 19:00 formal start.

Please make sure you book your name below so a name badge can be prepared, and if you have any difficulties on the night you can call David Terrar on 07715 159423.

And I am suggesting the same pub afterwards as last time we met at NYK Line: The Globe, 83 Moorgate, London, EC2M 6SA.

Don't forget to call ahead!

I think you can add your name to the list on that wiki. I've no idea what software it's running though and I seem to have messed it up..

Sue's my ex-boss - do me a favour and beg her to come back for me? This place has gone to shit since she left.

I predict she will pass back a message of "BWAAAAAhahahahaha WMF is actually less fucked up than CBC."

At this stage I'm just about registering the request.

[reddragdiva]

She remembered you and laughed and said "no, but thank you."
