Hi Cameron,

I'd love to join the meeting in Southampton! Also, if there's interest on your part, I'd be delighted to present Mendeley (a new research management, sharing & networking tool) in the "Tools" session.

Perhaps you've already encountered it on FriendFeed or on Ricardo (Vidal)'s blog - if not: It's a free software (Win, Mac & Linux) for managing & sharing research papers, as well as a website which lets you back up your papers online and network with colleagues. The website also aggregates research trends based on the users' paper collections, so the idea is a bit like a "Last.fm for research" (I gave a talk on this at the ESOF in Barcelona - the short version is on our blog: http://www.mendeley.com/blog/2008/07/an-excellent-euroscience-adventure-part-ii/).

Best,
Victor
