Our 2nd meetup was held at Skimlinks office.

Special thanks to @CiaranR, and @skimlinks people for providing the venue, pizzas and beers again.

We already have 2 speakers lined up for the next meetup (date to be announced later at London d3.js google group ), but always looking for new speakers. You don't have to be a d3.js expert to present.

Just bring in some interesting d3.js hacks and let's have interesting conversation over beers and pizzas !
