Loomio founder in London on November 25/26
I've been tweeting Ben Knight, founder of Loomio, and he informs me that he will be in London on November 25/26 and would love to connect with people, in case anyone is interested in meeting up with him.
Here is a video of him talking about Loomio:

He seems like a really cool guy and i'm gutted i'm not able to come down to meet him, but I hope someone is able to meet up with him because he seems really into what we are doing!
His twitter is @benjaminmknight if you want to get in contact with him!

He didn't say why he was visiting London but I did invite him down to Occupy Democracy if he was able to get here a few days earlier.
He asked if he could help in any way. If anyone was available I think he would probably jump at the chance to meet a few of us.
It would certainly be a good chance for us to offer feedback on Loomio for those of us who are testing it.

Sounds great. I see he is going to be meeting with Podemos too in Madrid.

we just got this through the international email.
I'm contacting them to see if they have anyone in London who could come and talk to us about the project on those days. Would be quite amazing if we could do an event with both of them!
Hey there
How are things down Occupy London (Finsbury Square)? I’ve probably contacted you some months back about a coming soon Kickstarter we have on the works called DemocracyOS (an open source vote & debate decision-making tool for all types of organisations). We here at the “DemocracyOS” bunker are extremely happy… because one of our project leaders, Pia Mancini, has just given a great TED talk (the first Argentine to give one!) titled "How to upgrade democracy for the internet era", at TED global, Brazil (click here to view it).
We’re also rounding up the data and getting everything ready to start our Kickstarter soon. We wanted to share our party mood and Pia’s video, where she explains exactly what the project is about. Hope you enjoy it! We’ll return with more info on the Kickstarter soon as well, and really hope this is of your interest! —just to refresh, DemocracyOS was featured in Wired, HuffPo and many other open democracy outlets. And we're super happy it's moving right ahead!
I can connect you with Pia if you need to, as she's taking lots of press requests. All help will be very very appreciated!!
Big cheers, and more to come soon!

I tried tweeting but you can only tweet privately if they are following you, so I have sent a public tweet

Is he here for an event? If not would be nice to organise one!
