Summary
This mini-summit is aimed at introducing customers and other people who use MusicBrainz data to the MusicBrainz team. We would like to discuss how MusicBrainz and its community can work more closely with its customers. The summit will take place in London on Jan 30, 2012, starting at 10am - 6pm. After the summit is over, we're going to have a pint at a nearby pub.

Schedule
To be determined, based on attendee feedback. This summit is being held for the benefit of MusicBrainz users/customers and we're taking suggestions about what topics should be covered at the summit.
Suggested Topics:
- last.fm artist URL relationships in MusicBrainz
- How does last.fm map to MBIDs?
- Can http://www.last.fm/mbid/<MBID> URL be safely used? Is it public and will it stay available?
- It seems the artists always point to the MBID that are most recently updated, so currently the links are not stable
- How often are new links pulled for artists (official homepage, myspace, etc.)? BBC does it (somehow) instantly…
- BBC
- is an API planned to get the list of reviews (to cross-link them from MB)?
- some reviews are not yet (or not anymore) linked to an MB release, is it planned to do this? Can MB editors help?
- Works Data
