This week, we celebrated the 3rd Anniversary of TiddlyWiki arriving on the Internet. We were fortunate to be joined at Osmosoft Towers by a number of enthusiastic TiddlyWiki users and developers.

Personally I was excited to put faces to the names of people who I had only so far met in the various TiddlyWiki user groups and chat rooms. I have found that if I have a question about how to achieve something using TiddlyWiki, I could almost always get the answer from someone in one of the groups. Being able to get to know some of these folks has been great. Not only does it make it even easier to engage with them online when I have a stupid question, but also it drives home the fact that work done on TiddlyWiki has real value to real people, and that gives me a huge sense of satisfaction.

TiddlyWiki enthusiasts are scattered around the globe so unfortunately many who hoped to drop in couldn’t, but we received visits from Saq, FND, Loic, Johan and also conferenced in Daniel and Simon Baird via iChat.

The Osmosoft office became a flurry of activity on Wednesday night, with Phil Whitehouse mixing his brilliant Caipirinhas, fun and games on the office Wii, and lots of energised discussions about TiddlyWiki and what exciting things we might do with it. We also ate rather well at Londons’s Gaucho Grill. If you like steak, this place is a must visit!

I suspect that we will be encouraging more and more people to drop in on us for this kind of get-together. The office has been buzzing and we are all energized thanks to everyone’s combined enthusiasm. Great stuff!
