Today's Mobile Miscellany is short but very sweet ...
We're kicking off the summer season here in London with some hot stuff to match the weather!
Vodafone Smart Accessibility Awards 2012 Now Open for Entries
We're delighted once again to be helping out with spreading the word and holding supporting events for Vodafone Smart Accessibility 2012. In short there is a prize pool of EUR 200,000 across the four categories of Social Participation, Independent Living, Mobility and Wellbeing, These are prizes that are truly worth winning, folks!
In support of this initiative we're running our next event on 11th June (below) and will be organising some workshops for people to gain a more in-depth appreciation of the issues. We'll be announcing those dates shortly.

Operators and OTT
Part of the Mobile Breakfast Series run by the renowned Chetan Sharma MoMoLo members have a 25% discount code MML on the already very reasonable price of GBP 30 (before tomorrow eve) or GBP 45 thereafter. http://www.mobilebreakfastseries.com/ - it will take place at WAYRA's lovely new Academy which I happen to know is holding the finals for their first round of entries today and tomorrow. Once again, good luck to MoMoLo entrants at that.
Alan Turing's Life and Legacy
The Science Museum has an exhibition opening on the 21st which could easily be of interest to the community http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/about_us/press_and_media/press_releases/2012/02/Codebreaker_Turing.aspx.
And while we're on that Turing theme - looking forward to seeing lots of people Friday at Bletchley Park for Over the Air.
Till then or the 11 June
