Wow. Well, now it's out in the open and I can tell you all. Oxford Geek Night 13 on Wednesday 15 July will be co-sponsored by the Guardian Open Platform.
The Guardian's Open Platform and Datastore work has really put them at the forefront of modern media. They've got a data API, client libraries in PHP, Python, Java etc, and swathes of online documentation, makes them a match made in heaven for Oxfordshire's geeks.
While we're on the subject, the Guardian Datastore is also running a competition to win a Flip Mino HD camcorder. They want ideas or tools from you which can bring their data to life. More details on their site, but maybe one for the next Oxford Geek Jam?
