MiniBar - London

OpenMute has been developing FLOSS software web tools since 2002 based on our previous bitter and sweet experiences of web publishing and using FLOSS tools in a pressured production working environment. Below are details of a Web 2.0 meetup event based in London that OpenMute is co-organising with our interest of flying the FLOSS flag and that are obviously a set of technologies that underpins many of the more interesting developments that now fall this this catchall phrase Web 2.0.
