This message is primarily intended for those attending the Usability Hackfest in London...
Hi all, I've been working on organising the social side of the upcoming Usability Hackfest. The plan comes in four parts... 1. First night meal (Monday 22nd February) I think the Queen's Arms pub [1] could be the best place. It's a great modern pub that does excellent beer and good food, and it's within walking distance of the hackfest venue. There's a nice dining room that we could use. Does that seem OK?! It would be great if hackfest attendees could give me an indication of whether they are going to attend the first night meal. I've added a column to the attendees table on the hackfest wiki page [2] so you can do that. 2. GNOME London Beer London GNOMErs have regular(ish) social gatherings. It would be great to tie a GNOME London Beer night in with the hackfest. It's tradition to hold the London Beer nights on a Friday. Would that suit the hackfest attendees? 3. Places to eat and drink during the hackfest I've started putting a Google Map [3] together with some recommendations for places to eat and drink during the hackfest. I'm happy to help organise additional social activities during the week, if that's what people want to do. 4. An exciting trip! I've had a couple of ideas for trips to enlighten and inspire. The first is the London Design Museum [4]. The second is an exhibition called 'Decode: Digital Design Sensations' [5], which is showing at the moment, and looks highly relevant to the subject of the hackfest. Would the hackfest attendees like to go on a trip like this? If yes, when would be the best time to do it?
