Now Maniac has married/gone on a sabbatical/left (not sure which one tbh), has anyone picked up the organising for this? There hasn't been a lot of information coming through - will we have a forum pitch again? Would hate for the meet to fall through as a consequence of actions on another thread, especially as last year was such a good event...
I am happy to help out where I can, but being slightly remote (and in a really inconvenient time-zone for UK) I think someone else would be a more effective organiser.
