Crew

  • find video person
  • find someone who can trade Bitcoins ("we should limit it to below 10 GBP or 2 BTC exchanges".) Potentially: lewis bowker who runs http://londonbitcoinexchange.com/
  • find merchants (e.g. layer1gfx' Club Mate trade)
  • find 2-5 people to help run the event: crowd control, Q&A aides, projector, misc org
  • would be nice to find people who can organise dinner for all contributors (15-20 people)

Invitation

(copy intro from event page)

We're quite excited about this event; there have been very few Bitcoin contributor meetings so far, even outside the UK. We'll try to record the talks and will make the videos public.

The event itself is free to attend, however you need to register so we know how many people to expect. Make sure to register early; we will make an attempt at managing a waiting list should that become necessary. Attendance will be in the low-dozens rather than hundreds, but (as you may know know) we draw a passionate crowd of specialists and hackers of all kinds of interesting backgrounds.
