Rick Hurst - Freelance Web developer. Bristol, England.

The long time overdue meeting of active members of the Bristol new media community (who happen to frequent the underscore mailing list) went ahead last night at the watershed. There were about 25-30+ people I think - very informal so people came and went and a few of us stayed on until closing time.

There was a general concensus that something needs to be done to improve the profile of Bristol as a new media hub, and in particular the under-represented (but thriving and more so than many other cities with a higher profile) "interactive" (i.e. generally meaning web and related technologies) section. Bristol is known worldwide for it’s film, animation and TV industry, and we want it to have a similar reputation for new media.
