Celebrate the release of Umbraco v4 in London this Friday

Tags: Copenhagen , London

Beer

As you may be aware Umbraco 4 is scheduled for release this Friday. Niels and Per are out in Copenhagen having a few beers to celebrate this milestone. Not wanting to be outdone a few of us over here in London are up for joining the celebrations and indulging in a shandy or two of our own.

If you want to come along, add a comment below or tweet with the hashtag #umbraobeerslondon. We’ll only go ahead if there is enough interest (say 6-10 people). With Niels offering to provide a beer or two for us there should be a free pint involved. Venue to be confirmed.

Hopefully see you all on Friday.

UPDATE: As of 11.30am on Thurs we are Myself, Lesley, Hendy + 1, Billy. If we get to 10 people before 8pm this eve we'll be on @ Bar 101 at 6.30pm, otherwise we'll cancel and try and arrange something another time.

UPDATE 2: I think we'll cancel as there aren't enough confirmed. If anyone wants to do another time let me know and I'll start a forum topic.

    Gravatar of TimWhere are these beers happening? anywhere near Old street? I haven't used Umbraco yet but have been keeping an eye out and would love to meet some people who are actively using it... in case I need help for a project.

    Gravatar of Darren Ferguson@Tim - not sure it will happen unless we get 6+ people. So far we are 3. If we don't get the numbers by this eve, will probably cancel.

    Venue would be central maybe here http://www.viewlondon.co.uk/pubsandbars/101-bar-info-16223.html

    Gravatar of Tim SaundersHi,

    I'll certainly try and make it. Can't 100% say yes as it's a bit late notice for me, but would be happy to do another time if it doesn't happen.

    Not been to 101 for years!

    Gravatar of Paul George (1)@Hendy: Fantastic! It's a small world. I'll be there sporting a white-box PA system on the back of my bike with 4x white speakers facing backwards. Please say hello if you see me :)

  18. Laurence G (2) says:

    Gravatar of Laurence G (2)@Hendy, this is suitably random but its turns out my good friend &.net guru John C Scott knows you! ;)

    I'm still unsure of my attendance tonight, lots of variables... If it doesn't happen, then I think another meet-up is in order at some point.

    Its always good to have a few beers! I do believe 101 have a happy hour till 8pm at well (£2.50 a pint)

    Gravatar of Hendy (3)@Paul George I'll look out for you ! there can't be that many sound systems ?? I've just written off my bike and got a battering to go with it, but will hopefully borrow another one for tonight...

    @Darren What's happening with the Umbraco get together ? I'm kinda hoping I can get away with turning up where ever it is at about 8pm ???
