Following the “rebirth” of London Wiki Wednesday last month, from this point onwards we plan to hold a meeting once every two months. The next meeting will be jointly sponsored by BearingPoint and The British Computer Society, and hosted by The British Computer Society on 1st October 2008 at their Covent Garden Office - my thanks to Andrea Rindler of BearinPoint and Dalim Basu of BCS for the venue, food, beer and wine.
The address for event is BCS, First Floor, The Davidson Building, 5 Southampton Street, London, WC2E 7HA. Nearest Tube is either Covent Garden or Charing Cross (and here it is on Google Map). This event will be strictly limited to 45 people because of space constraints, so sign up on the wiki page on a first come first served basis. As usual, everyone who wants to speak will be allowed 5 minutes on a wiki related topic of their choice. At the last meeting it was decided that we start this meeting with a discussion about the rise of Microsoft SharePoint as a social networking solution in the corporate environment. A number of people are seeing corporate IT wishing to adopt the SharePoint “toolkit”, when simpler, cheaper, or off the shelf solutions might provide quicker results. I’ve got strong views on this, and I’m sure we’ll see some lively discussion.
As of today we already have 17 attendees booked on to the event wiki. I look forward to seeing you there. As usual, if you are interested in sponsoring or hosting a future event, please contact me.
