Garbage collection, in a very real sense
I don’t know how well this reflects on me.
As I was wondering idly when the delivery would arrive containing OGN5’s book lottery giveaways (thanks again, Friends of ED!) I started making a note of calendar dates for different bits of OGN organisation. I was working with Trac milestones at the time, so they were all [...]
The fifth Oxford Geek Night is shaping up to be a really great night. Following on from our keynote confirmations, we’ve now got a full house of microslotters.
Not only that, but we’ve also sorted our extra sponsorship. Joining the ever-indulgent, ever-understanding Torchbox are Google and Friends of ED. In return for sponsoring us, Google have [...]
The fifth Oxford Geek Night is on February 6, 2008. We’ve got sponsorship from Torchbox and Google—thanks for that, chaps—and two really interesting keynote speakers booked: Rufus Pollock and Denise Wilton.
Rufus is an executive director of the Open Knowledge Foundation and economics research fellow at Emmanuel College, Cambridge. He’ll be talking about promoting the opening [...]
Agh! The fourth Oxford Geek Night is tomorrow: here’s a list of speakers. It looks like it’s going to be a darn good evening for everyone, and hopefully I can relax for long enough to enjoy it myself.
As usual we’ve managed to get a good mix of talks, with discussion of the society-changing work behind [...]

James Gardner, co-founder of the Pylons Web Framework
We’ve also (as you can see above) got the website sorted out, alongside the Upcoming event. How l33t are we?
We’re back! After a too-long absence the Oxford Geek Nights return, sadly without Natalie at the helm (which is why it’s taken us until now to get our act together…)
OGN #4 is scheduled for November 28th, in the upstairs room at the Jericho Tavern as before. We’ll update the OGN website asap, but we’re already [...]
Blogging from Oxford Geek Nights #3, and it doesn’t look like the weather has dampened the Oxonian geek ardour. We reckon we’ve got around 120 people here tonight, which is fantastic (especially given the circumstances). Standing room only in the Jericho Tavern, sort of like Botley Road right now but without waders. I can’t say [...]
