Oxford Geek Nights reach double digits on January 21st

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. He'll be taking a look at the state of typography on the web, exploring the issues surrounding font embedding, the arguments about progressive enhancement, and the problematic question of text replacement, and asking: far have we (or not) come in recent years and where on earth is web typography heading?

We also have Sylwia Presley of 1000heads discussing the notion of Twitter ethics: how individuals and organizations can and should appreciate the mores and morals of social media. She'll be focussing on Twitter as one of the more popular social-media venues, but it will be interesting generally to see how outsiders can best chart and explore these online social landscapes.

Along with that, we've got a stack of great microslots on all manner of subjects, including a recognized British Standard for accessibility, scaling web applications, dynamic-demand power technologies, and website design which utilizes transparencies. And, of course, our usual sponsorship from Torchbox and Google make it a free event (along with the seemingly indestructible Moo cards).

Hope to see you all there: put Wednesday 21 January in your diaries!
