Must be if you count all the coders, editors publishers etc across departments, agencies, NDPBs etc. They might not all be full-time web people but then it is just a guess!

Seriously, I'm talking anyone from core web teams (which are relatively small, 5 -20 people tops) to people who have 'responsibility' for their website. I know many such of the latter who probably update their content once a quarter who wouldn't consider themselves web people, but for the purposes of my generalisation below, I would.

Jeremy, I think you're absolutely on the right track - keep it organic and don't worry about the numbers - it only takes two people to have a conversation.
See you in soho :)

I have told my web team about barcamp and sent links to this
discussion group. But think will have to do a bit more PR to get them
actively involved. Might be an idea to start a conversation either
here or at the coffee on Thu about how we can get gov webbies
involved.
If we had one champion in each cental gov web team, would be a good
start. Any other ideas?
p.s. couldn't make Friday's social media cafe - any updates from it?

I'm new to this group - hopefully will make it to the Thursday meet. If it was on upcoming etc this would be helpful as it would allow me to import it into Google calendar.
Anyway, is there a format to the meetings, any particular topic etc? If I don't know anyone how do I find the meeting?

Been meaning to do this for a while, had other people request it.
What better thing to wake up to than online social calendaring?
