The M25-LT-Group jiscmail created by Jan Smith from the University of London External Programme. The Impetus came from EFFECTS Project (1998-2001) which had included a commitment to "try and develop local networks" as part of its continuation work.
The original M25 organisers responsible for setting up the mailing list, scheduling & running the early meetings were Jan Smith, Dave Riley & David Andrew.
The first ever M25 Meeting was held at Senate House, University of London. 18 people attended from 10 institutions: Queen Mary, Imperial College, LSHTM, Royal Holloway, University of London, Bristol, UCL, UNL, Kingston & Goldsmiths. Organised by Jan Smith.
Imperial College London, organised by Dave Riley. Attended by 14 people from 7 institutions.
