Young Rewired State

[Stephen Mount-4]

Dear All,

I can't recommend enough Young Rewired State - I've been meaning to  
find an event like this where it's orientated at this age, and seems  
to be at the perfect sort of venue for hacking!!

Anyway, looking over the spec of who should come along - I think most  
of us have hacked up HTML/CSS pages, played with various languages,  
and know our ways around the OS X command line *snigger*.

So - essentially it's an event aimed at our sort of group. Not a  
subsection of people who want to turn around and monetise using  
government data - as we all know we're not that type of people and  
haven't been brainwashed by this mass web 2.0 bandwagon!

At the end of the day, I have been informed that if you're outside the  
M25 (London) ring - you are eligible to claim back your expenses/cost  
to come down to YRS - which is of course, brilliant.

Tim is kindly organising a hotel in London for us paid by YRS - If  
you're interested, please do modify the wiki http://dfey.org/wiki/London,_August_2009#Unknown.3F 
  (Thank god we have one nowadays, thanks RL)

Please come! It would be better to have a turn out of normal people  
instead of some of the characters I met last week at Tomorrow's Web  
(if you're normal and attended, I apologise ;-))

See you there (hopefully!),

Stephen.

Thanks Stephen,

Also anyone with free time on their hands, please spend 5 minutes doing
one of the little things that would make the organisational process so
much easier:
http://dfey.org/wiki/London,_August_2009#Organisational_Stuff

I'll be in touch about this later on but any help you can give in making
things get organised quickly and smoothly would be greatly appreciated.

cheers,

Tim

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for the heroic efforts last night - we have 13 people (I think -
I haven't counted!) signed up via DFEY to go to YRS.

A pat on the back is deserved by Robert Leverington who pretty much
singlhandedly most of your journeys and did a considerable amount of
research. Thanks Robert :)

I've setup a wiki page of stuff to bring, please take a look and edit it
as you see fit:
http://dfey.org/wiki/London,_August_2009/Stuff_to_bring

If you want to start a page
http://dfey.org/wiki/London,_August_2009/Ideas
of cool ideas of projects to do at YRS that'd also be cool. :)

I'll try and email out individual confirmation emails to everyone by
tomorrow morning with information of exactly how you will be travelling

Unfortunately, our internal deadline has now passed in terms of
arranging travel and accommodation and I'm informed by YRS that they are
now oversubscribed.
If you would still like to go please contact YRS by
http://www.rewiredstate.org/young ASAP - it's out of our hands now.

If you have any questions that we can help with, please email [hidden email]

Thanks,

Tim

Good!  I'll try and sort out an English phone before the weekend,
though I don't know if I'll be able to.  I'll text Tim if I do get an
English number, otherwise it'll still have to be my French one,
provided I get credit by tomorrow.

Ooh yes that's a good point - ideas!

That would be good.  I'll have internet on my phone at least.  :)
