Today saw the launch of the London Web Week (LWW) website as well as the announcement of Web Roots, a new conference aimed at new people coming into the industry; a great idea in my mind as the more new blood we get the better! All the hard work of “Mr @media” Patrick Griffiths - though I’m happy to say that I’ve also played my own small part in things.

LWW has been put together as a kind of umbrella event to hold a large number of geek events over one week in the summer - it’s a bit like a fun fair but with less rides, more beer and less slates getting stolen from your rooftop. I’m very happy that barCampLondon4 is being held as the closing event - hopefully it will be an excellent closing to the week.

Along side the two conferences and londonBarCamp4 there are a number of additional events over the week. There is the 2nd Microformats vEvent; workshops, a Web Standards Group meet-up and I think a geek dinner is also being planned. If you’re still thirsty for more there is both an openning and closing knee’s up planned!

I think I’m going to take the week off work so that I can make the most of all this :>
