Report on last event: 1st POST-MOZFEST HACK THE MEDIA MEET-UP on 14th November 6.30pm


The plan was to build on the energy and projects started at the Mozilla Festival and for participants to show what they've done or get involved in exciting projects. During our meet-up we had great chats and presentations, notably by Peter Ross from the Micro-donations website Flattr and SamTheTechie showed us on the screen how the anti-kettling mobile app Sukey works and what are the next planned updates. Other presentations by Morris of his Hypnosis experiences and Valeria on the Femme Fatale event.

As for "building on the momentum" we already have one meetup schedule next Monday 21th Nov at 6.30pm at Hackspace on the open source software Webcam Studio. More info on these talks:
