Last weekend I went to the first PlugLondon at the Skype headquarters here in London. It was a lot of fun, although I didn’t really participate as I had a really bad headache that day. The idea of PlugLondon is much like a MiniBar (which is boring and nothing like a BarCamp) but more oriented on developers and geeks sharing their APIs, projects, and other brilliant ideas. I liked this much better than a MiniBar as even though Skype and eBay had a talk about their API it was still not a sales pitch. Even Ian Forrester (BBC Backstage) gave a little talk on how to use your WiiMote on Linux, and what else kept him busy.

The food (pizza and coke) was great and the presentations were of high quality, making it a nice event for a Saturday. I think next time I would like to see this happen on a Friday or such, as in the weekend all London public transport seems to be rubbish. Not to mention the amount of slow moving tourists in the subway! Below are the photos and go here for the winning logo design.
