Oxford Geek Night #9 next Wednesday

The planning for OGN9 is almost complete. The keynotes are sorted, the book raffle books have arrived---but we now have a vacancy in our volunteer microslots. Help.

As far as the keynotes are concerned, Jeremy Ruston of BT Osmosoft will be talking about the magic self-replicating offline/online publishing system TiddlyWiki, an open-source Javascript project. Adrian Hon of Six to Start will then be discussing Penguin's recent online story/mashup experiment, We Tell Stories. Together they constitue a sort of online-publishing-themed OGN, but after the exhaustion that followed the musically themed OGN8 I'm not going to push it....

But, yeah, we're a microslotter down. Interested in performing to your peers? Want to share ideas with an audience, but scared they might intimidate you? Well, the OGN crowd is as amiable as they get, with a cheery and (to some extent) indulgent atmosphere. Submit a proposal for a microslot talk and we'll stick you on the bill!
