After 8 years of bringing you bi news week in, week out, BiMedia is mostly on a long-deserved break at the moment. Latest bi news stories? Check www.bicommunitynews.co.uk

Calling all bi activists and those who want to discuss the future of bi events, bi research and bi communities in the UK. Such matters and more will be discussed on the weekend of 18th-19th June and all are welcome. The event is being hosted by Bi-UK in association with The Open University (at the OU's Camden campus in London) and is set to run from 2pm-5pm Saturday and 9am-5pm Sunday, with smaller groups meeting on various projects on the Saturday morning in the Camden area. To book a place please email Sharon - bookings and timings will be confirmed via email closer to the date. There will also be an open social on the Saturday night to which all are welcome (the organisers add that the social is not compulsory!) More on the event website here.

We're delighted to report that BiBloggers, the new blog syndication site for people in the UK writing about bisexuality, is now live on bimedia.org/blogs After some debate the site will focus on UK bi bloggers, to try and help foster a sense of blogging community here. An international blog aggregator would be welcome but might easily be swamped by the louder voices of one or two countries with a much larger bi blogging presence. There are already more than half-a-dozen writers signed for up BiBloggers, but additional bloggers would be most welcome!

Do you blog about being bisexual, bisexuality, bi issues or bi representation? Following a workshop at this year’s BiCon, there are plans to create a common forum (or "aggregator") for bloggers writing about bi issues; while we know of a few bisexuality bloggers (Sue George, or Jen Yockney, for instance) we’d love to find more, so if you’re interested, get in touch with newsdesk [at] bimedia.org – remember to include a link to your blog in your email! Most blogging sites also let you take feeds based on post tags - so if most of your blog is about other things but there are bi posts that you tag as such, don't feel you can't join in too.

A new entertainment, social and news website for bis in the USA launched last month. Bi Social News say their site is "the first interactive bisexual Blog for today’s bisexual. Find all the latest information on social, entertainment and political scenes. We are particularly focusing on bisexual men, women, teens and social issues surrounding the myths of bisexuality in the gay, lesbian and straight communities." Opening articles focus on new First Lady Michelle Obama, the film "Little Ashes" on the life of Salvador Dali, and the particular challenges facing bisexual women. Read more at www.bisocialnews.com
