Secure your diaries! Cancel your appointments! On Wednesday it’s our first monthly drop-in session. Come along for as short (just to say hi!) or as long (make an entire new website!) as you like.

Inevitably we’re in London, nearest tube Bethnal Green. Full details in Tom’s own words to our mailing list earlier:

The first mySociety volunteers meetup is this coming wednesday, 29th March. We’ve got a room in the Young Foundation, 17 Victoria Park Square, London (Google map).

We’ll start at 2, and stay there until 7, after which point we’ll go to the pub. My number is 07811 082158 for finding out where we’ve gone if you pitch up after 7. Wifi is available, so bring laptops, hacking questions and your own good selves.

More notice and a slightly more central venue you should be lined up for the meeting next month.

We’re going to have a monthly drop-in meeting, in London. (It pains me as a northerner that the black hole for people that is London sucks more and more in, but we have to be practical here).

The idea is that Tom, Chris, Matthew and I will go and work somewhere, from late afternoon until early evening, and any of you can come and join us for the whole or part of the time. Learn to hack on our code, or make marketing materials, or help with customer support, or do usability tests, or buy us drinks, or give each other massages. Whatever.

Now, the question is, what day should it be? And which week of the month?

Vote now for when would suit you best. Vote early, vote often (you get 3 votes each).

Hello World,

mySociety and TheyWorkForYou are holding another of our not-so-legendary drinks evenings next Thursday, 15th September. The venue is downstairs at the Narrowboat in Islington from 7PM.

The idea is to give people updates on our projects, ply them with drinks, and then trap them in nets and drag them back to our ‘volunteers and friends’ dungeon.

We must keep an eye on numbers, so please let us know if you’re coming, or Frowning Will Ensue.

all the best,

Tom Steinberg
