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 of knowledge silos and removing technical and legal restrictions to knowledge for all. He’ll be accompanied by his lovely assistant Nate Olson on vibes.
- Denise, on the other hand, is a design buff and creative director at Moo, co-designer of the Nathan Barley site, and partly responsible for anarchic online forum b3ta. She’ll tell us all how to design a web application with character!
But! we still need microslot talks. That’s where you come in. If you can spend around five minutes blathering about your ideas, work, experiences or opinions on the future of the web and how we’ll all be ruled by benevolent wifi routers by 2075… we want you. The atmosphere is friendly and unintimidating, so if you’ve got a thought and half a dozen pertinent slides then submit your microslot details.
