> 7. SOTM 2013: Brian to collate info once Andy M and Andy R document briefly their contacts for circulation to this list for approval and then to the gb wiki page  in order to promote Birmingham at the preferred Uk site for a bid. Rob, Matt, Andy M and AndyR(for early 2013 only) all agreed to devote  time to some aspect of the organisation. Andrew McK was also volunteered in his absence for his links around Open Data
