Speaker
Lorna Jane will be doing a presentation entitled HTTP for web developers, this is not Drupal specific but she will be doing the same talk at Drupal con so we get a sneak peek of the talk and she would like some feedback!
We work with HTTP every day but really understanding how it works will level up your development skill set. This session will fill in everything you need to know about HTTP whether you are making websites, integrating with APIs, or interacting with anything else with a web interface (such as CouchDB or the Internet of Things). We will cover some theory with headers, verbs and also look at common authentication methods, all with real-world examples. We will also introduce tools and techniques that will help you to develop more effectively when working with data types such as JSON and to handle systems built from or consuming many different services. Developers and architects alike will benefit from this session packed with a mix of theory and practical tips.

I've not been able to book the ODI for August so any ideas are welcome, if anybody has a work space we can use that would be great.

I'm going to take a desk at Futurelabs from next month. I went to their opening do last week, looks really good and I think it is free to host. WP leeds and devops Leeds are already there Agile Yorkshire are moving there and so are NUX. We might need to be flexible on date though.
Talked to the guys who organise WP and devops about doing an event together as well ~ hackathon or barcamp type thing. One of the guys who orgs WP Leeds is a guy I used to work with 12 years ago :o
If we can't get in there I'll ask the Creode crew if we can use their office just for Aug

All of that sounds great,
There was also Wharfe Chambers as a venue suggestion I think. I wonder if The Tetley might be another.
