The 25th Oxford Geek Night is happening on Wednesday 29 February in the upstairs room at the (hopefully) newly refurbished Jericho Tavern. Despite a Christmas lull all round, we've finally got two ace keynotes organized:
- How to make rowing sexy: a web video case study, by Tom Wilkinson, Online Media Producer at the University of Oxford
- Getting geeks singing with Javascript, by Matthew Westcott, Senior Developer at Torchbox
They both broadly fit under the theme of "online video," so if you're at all interested in stretching your browser's capabilities in that area, or just want to see experts getting down with some interesting visual and internet technologies, you should definitely come along to OGN25.
If you want any more reasons to turn up, then: entrance is free (thanks to my employers and long-running sponsors Torchbox); and there's a free drink for every geek (thanks to OGN25 sponsors Historic Futures). We also hope to have a mystery raffle later on in the evening, if we can swing it; for more information about OGN25, and regular but infrequent updates afterwards, you should subscribe to the newsgroup or follow @oxfordgeeks on Twitter.
Meanwhile, I should start getting things organized. Now, where did I leave that microphone...?
