Oxford Geek Nights reach double digits on January 21st

jp.stacey 7 January 2009
The tenth Oxford Geek Night is my seventh, and I've just got the hang of the PA.

It's the tenth Oxford Geek Night in two weeks! Who would have thought nearly two years ago that Natalie's brainchild would ever make it to the grand old age of ten? And the OGNs are striding purposefully towards their teens with two great keynote speakers.

First up will be Elliot Jay Stocks, designer and writer for .net.

Oxford Geek Night 12: messages, generators and hot, hot sex

It's getting hot in here (uh-huh) so take off all your... actually, I'll open a window.

The lineup for OGN12 has been finalized, and we've got another special feature. This time round, our two keynotes have been replaced with an extended superkeynote about messaging technologies---the web, social media, small communications and instant messaging---called The webs are made of messages.

You heard it here second, probably; immediately after on the mailing list.

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.

Change of plan at OGN16

jp.stacey 5 January 2010

Social media meets being social.

There's been a change in the speakers for Oxford Geek Night 16 on Wednesday 17 February. We're really happy that Chris Thorpe will still be giving his keynote talk, about how social media is all about the social and not about the media. Alongside Chris' talk will be a keynote from Oxford's very own Garrett Coakley, who will be talking about how to run a successful online community.
