This just in: In the spirit of the pubcon concept, I'll be hosting a panel forum on the future of Bugpowder.com at Lock 17 Camden on Saturday, sometime around midday.
It should be noted that the panel is being organised by Andrew Luke of Bugpowder and LUC and not by Oli Smith of LUC - "I have enough to do as it is!", says Oli. Indeed!
