From the website:
On 6 November 2008, London will host an Open Everything event, a global conversation about the art, science and spirit of 'open'. The conversation will cover, well, everything. Qualifier: the 'thing' in question is built using openness, participation and self-organisation. There are people coming to talk about open technology, media, education, workplace design, philanthropy, public policy and even politics. These people want to tell you what they're doing and find out what you're up to. And they'd like to have lunch with you.
If you're interested in 'open', it'd be great to see you there!

Nothing came into the info@ or my wikimedia email addresses. Interestingly when they announced one they did last year I contacted them and asked if they wanted us ('wikmedia' of any flavour) and, iirc, it was indicated in the negative (I think I was told we were 'too large' but I'd have to look back in the email archive on another machine 40 miles away). Pity really, as I think we'd have a lot to offer the discussions.
