== Summary ==
This is an informal social for anyone interested in Microformats. Level of expertise, interest or involvement isn't really important. There is no structure for the evening other than having a few drinks at a London ''Micro''brewery and getting the opportunity to meet up with some of the community.

It'll be a good chance to get more involved and maybe learn a bit, discuss any projects you've got on the go, or problems you might be having with Microformats!

= Microformats IRC =

We have an IRC channel, [irc://irc.freenode.net#microformats #microformats on the freenode network].

There's typically someone there at any point during the day, though there isn't always active discussion. Sometimes, though this is the best place to discuss issues that need lots of back and forth discussion.

== IRC meetups ==

The idea of having IRC meetups (that is, a set time for meeting on IRC) has been suggested by [[User:RyanKing|Ryan King]], as it appears to work well for the WordPress community and may help us from time-to-time. As of yet, there are no plans to have meetups, though.
