[kNews <k-news@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,

1. Limited places for Kendra Hub sessions London 27/28 August
2. Seeking London venue for weekend 29/30 August developer meeting
3. DrupalCon Paris to host Kendra Hub presentation 4 September
4. Kendra Initiative goes to NEM Summit, France, 28-30 September

1. LIMITED PLACES FOR KENDRA HUB SESSIONS LONDON 27/28 AUGUST

How many stores can sell your music online? How many social networks can 
host your page and connect you with your fans? And the numbers are rising! 
Having problems repurposing and transcoding your content (music audio 
files, videos, photos, events, metadata, lyrics, etc) for all your online 
stores? Spending too much time posting events and managing fan questions at 
all your social networks? Too much time spent repeating the same tasks? And 
they all work differently! Wouldn't it be great if you could manage all 
your information centrally and then simply one-click syndicate to and 
synchronise with your online locations?
 

Kendra Hub developers (Daniel Harris, Darren Mothersele and Neil Harris) 
will be presenting Kendra Hub to a handful of music industry innovators in 
London 27/28 August, 11:30 to 13:00. Space is tight but we have a few 
places left. If you want to be put on the list then get back to me 
immediately. We do know these problems exist for photographers and film 
makers too so, if you feel particularly passionate about these issues, get 
in touch by reply.
 

Kendra Hub will not be a service like MySpace or Facebook but free open 
source software that artists, bands and record labels will use to manage 
their digital media assets and interact with their online distribution 
points and social communities. So, this means that content owners only need 
to enter their metadata once and it will be syndicated/transformed to the 
appropriate distribution points. They will be in control. See the full 
funding proposal being made to the Knight Foundation here:

Thanks to David Berry at Charles Russell Solicitors for providing their 
central London venue for these sessions.

2. SEEKING LONDON VENUE FOR WEEKEND 29/30 AUGUST DEVELOPER MEETING

Do you have a nice office meeting space in the central or North East part 
of London for 5 Kendra developers to use for this coming weekend of 29/30 
August. We will be planning for a new funded project. Daylight and fresh 
air appreciated. Let me know by reply. Many thanks.
