Hi there, I hosted the bugjam in London a couple of times back and I am willing to do it again. I would of done something earlier but have been rushed off my feet with work...
I am pretty sure I can provide a room or two with wireless and fixed point internet access.. Pretty sure I can provide a box to load from scratch too with whatever demo stuff we can come up with. I can provide drinks and snacks and the venue is just outside of Liverpool street. Also, may be able to set up the video conferencing to stream out to web too! If you are interested, let me know.
