The next Cambridge meetup will be on 15 December:

It will follow our current pattern, of a traditional meetup as social occasion, from 3 pm, in the Makespace community workshop, preceded by a two-hour ContentMine workshop. This time the workshop will be about the ScienceSource wiki at
http://sciencesource.wmflabs.org/
and its function as a place to help annotate scientific papers. Real data for that, from text-mining, is on the way. Account creation for the wiki will be opened up, at least for a period: right now, to avoid giving the spammers an early Xmas present, you need to ask me.
Anyway, please set aside time to come and join us.

The meetup in Makespace, 16 Mill Lane, on Saturday will be preceded by a ScienceSource workshop from 1300, a midpoint survey of the ScienceSource project, which is live at http://sciencesource.wmflabs.org.
There will be an emphasis on novel visualisations as a use of SPARQL, which is a fundamental aid to understanding what is going on.
I hope to include work by Tom Arrow, my colleague at ContentMine last year, that he showed at the WikiCite conference in November. This is now a rapidly developing area of Wikidata technology.
It would also be good to have some discussion of adaptation of Wikidata tools to more general Wikibase sites. There is a timeline of those:
Be reassured that from 1500 we'll have the traditional meetup occasion.
