Hello Wikimedians, I'm thinking about holding an election night editathon at Newspeak House in London on Thursday 12 December. We did one there last election and it was quite good fun to make draft articles on people who were likely to become MPs in anticipation of the results (which don't usually start coming in until after midnight). I imagine there will be a larger gathering of people at Newspeak, because it's a centre for lots of other political and tech groups on occasions like that, but I wanted to let the mailing list know and ask people to tell me if they would be theoretically interested in participating.

All the best,

John Lubbock
