Ethereum London is back, and it's all grown up. We're keeping in the tradition of no sales pitch, content-heavy, information rich presentations.



We'd like to thank the London Ethereum Meetup event sponsor @Clearmatics who are looking for devs interested in Haskell and Solidity in London - http://www.clearmatics.com/



Our next event will be Wednesday, March 2nd 2016 and will take place at a brand-new venue, HMG Consulting, part of the Havas Media Group - we think you'll love it - just look at those gorgeous pictures!



Our first confirmed speaker will be Thibaut Rouffineau from Canonical, the makers of Ubuntu. Canonical is rapidly establishing itself as a leader in the blockchain space with their recent announcement of integration of Uport into Ubuntu phones. By March, there could be even more surprises - you won't want to miss this one!



Our second speaker is none other than Thomas Bertani! Thomas is a long time blockchain expert, his career having started with important contributions in the fields of high performance computing. Today he works mainly on Bitcoin and Ethereum as an entrepreneur and consultant. His focus is now in providing reliable infrastructure layers for smart contracts via the Oraclize oracle solution.



After an introduction explaining what oracles really are, we'll get deep into the Oraclize oracle service trying to explain why our solution is different. We will then talk about what the rationale is, how we moved from a Bitcoin only approach to a mostly Ethereum focused one, what pitfalls we did encounter while building it and what our business model is. Last but not least we will show some Oraclize-based DApps which we hope you will enjoy playing with!



>>>> We're always looking for more speakers <<<<<



We also have two speaker slots available per meetup (going fast - next available ones are in June!) so if you have topics that are fun and exciting, projects to demo, now is your chance!



We are also running a couple of Slack channel with newbie help on the Slock.it slack - anyone can get an invite at http://slock.it:3000.



Finally, we'd like to invite anyone willing to help to join us in coordinating the next one. PM me for an invite to our Skype organizer channel.
