Re: Meeting at Music Encoding Conference 2016, this Friday?

I think there is certainly space for a W3C community group here, and we have some conference rooms reserved for group meetings all day. The plan is to show up and organize it on Friday morning (9am is the MEI Community Meeting and the unconference program will follow). One person can stand up in front of the group and say they're interested in the W3C group meeting, and then we can find a space for the group.

I am very interested in coming to hear more about the W3C work.

But I would encourage anyone at MEC who wants to do so, please go ahead and have a discussion about the W3C Notation initiative anyway (and hopefully capture and share the discussion!). I am in touch with the MEC conference chair Andrew Hankinson and hope to follow up after MEC with anyone who's interested in further dialogue.

I know MEC is one of the smaller conferences, but the "unconference" day seems like a great opportunity to help those of us get involved who can't necessarily make it to the larger events.
