Hi Edward,
Thanks for the moral support! The crowd were all very keen, and for the most part already very technologically literate, so I'm hopeful. And plans are already afoot for a follow-up event in a few months' time.
Best,
Harry Mitchell

That's what we like to hear. Of course, whether any of them will ever edit on a regular basis remains the elephant in the room...

Word in the office was that it was an "ideal editathon" with smart students and enthusiastic trainers!

All,
Looking for something to do tomorrow evening?
Harry Mitchell has asked me to promote an event happening in London, near Euston. It's a genetics editathon - but knowledge of the subject isn't required, as experts will be on hand!
Food and drink are being provided. The evening will look like this:
17:30 Teas, Coffees and drinks reception 17:45 Introduction to problems; resources; markup; references; materials 18:00 Break out into into sub groups or individuals 18:10 Editathon begins. First session 19:00 Teas and Coffee Break 19:20 Editathon begins. Second session (Opportunity to switch areas of interest) 20:20 Teas and Coffee Break 20:30 Editathon begins. Third session (Opportunity to switch areas of interest) 21:45 Close + Wrap up 21:50 Pizzas, networking + Socialising.
Should be a good evening. It's being held at 2 Capper Street, London, at the offices of Wayra, a startup accelerator (read: trendy office) near Euston station.

All the best,
