Hey guys, for those not already part of the Facebook group, here are the last minute details. Looks like we might break 100 people this month!

Is it really kosher to post things to Hacker News that you can't read without signing a contract that runs to several thousand words?

so hackers use facebook these days do they?

oh how things have changed

Will there be any speakers?

We've got a some start-ups & hackers doing demos as usual, but no formal speaker for this one. Will be organising speakers for some of the upcoming meetups. How did you find the Erlang one? Anyone you'd particularly like to see speak?

didnt make the erlang one sadly, your mate Pete told me about this months meetup.

My favourite speakers are people that have worked on a cool project (even if its cool only in their eyes) and want to talk and show it off.

I should buzz you (or visa versa) next time you have a meetup, can you show my leet learning news project :)

That's exactly what the demos are for - each month about 4-5 hackers spend 5 mins each demoing something cool they've built. Would be great to check out your project at the next one.

sounds great, hope I can make it :)

I heard a lot of people say, and I agree, that the Erlang one was very interesting, but also too long. I think it was like 1hr 30. 20-30 mins max is best.

Yeah I agree, I think any future speakers will aim for 30 mins max. The Erlang guys did an awesome job, my fault for not setting clearer guidelines...

...heh, that's definately not the "London Hacker Meetup" I used to go to, back in the day. :]
