Oxford Geek Nights #3 has been somewhat firmed up since I last posted. It’s in six days time (Wed 25) at the usual place, The Jericho Tavern.
Keynotes are confirmed—Andy Budd of Clearleft and Matt Biddulph of Dopplr—and we even have a (deep breaths) geek troubadour introducing the whole evening.
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 on Upcoming. That means it must be happening, so stick it in your diaries now.
The OGN juggernaut rumbles on towards the fourth Oxford Geek Night. Keynotes have been confirmed:
Oxford Geek Nights have got a mention in the November 2007 issue of .net magazine.
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.
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.
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.
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 in the format MM/DD/YY.
Now that the shine is off my memories of OGN5—not least by a leak of an upcoming post elsewhere on this blog owing to a keyfumble—I can nonetheless look back on a success.
In the wake of the most recent geek night, we’ve just added Upcoming entries for Oxford Geek Night #6 and Oxford Geek Night #7. Maybe when we reach some milestone like #10 we can think of better names for the events.
