Another Django/Rails/Catalyst/Java/web2.0 love in to be held at “The Old Bank of England”:http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/66/660/ onFleet Street.

If you’re coming along either leave a comment or register your interest on “Upcoming(Upcoming.org – London 2.0 RC3)”:http://upcoming.org/event/59719/ – we have to book a room so it’d be good to get an idea of numbers.
