I think the pub quiz is still a good idea, maybe we can have it in<br>January to celebrate the new year?<br><br>I've emailed Ian to let him know we're keen to join the backstage<br>event.<br><br>Now, we just need a stunning presentation to rock the socks off fellow
<br>London geeks. Anyone with a idea drop me a line. I think zany,<br>humourous and ... well bizarre would do the trick ... James, maybe it's<br>time to unleash on the unsuspecting London developer community the<br>acts_as_hasselhoff plugin!
