I bumped into Vamory (Traore) from The Web A-Team in Angel last weekend and we spoke in depth about the thread here:
http://drupal.org.uk/drupal_uk_society/feedback

and we both agreed that a BoF at DrupalCon would be a good opportunity to move this proposal forward

An outline agenda could mirror the discussion:

What is being proposed?

Why do we need a local body Drupal Association?

Committee, constitution and logistics

Next Steps
