First Oxford Geek Night a success!
Thanks to everyone who came last night. I really hope everyone had a fantastic evening, we had some interesting talks and some cool demos. It was pretty tricky to judge numbers from where I was sat, but I have been told that we had over 100 people at one point, which is great!
The running order of the night went as follows ...
Keynotes
- Simon Willison - An introduction to OpenID
- Olly Willans - Demonstration of Photoshop CS3
Microslot set one
- Tom Dyson - Peastat
- Jonathan Leighton - Ruby on Rails Migrations
- Tim Almond - Wordpress as a CMS
- Gemma Hentsch - Concatenating forms, a Django extension
- Garrett Coakley - Drupal 5
- JP Stacey - Building an ultra thin CMS with XSL and Atom
Microslot set two
- Nick Birch - New Popular Edition Maps
- Artem Pavlenko - Mapnik, a map rendering engine
- Matthew Westcott - London Underground Tube map demonstration
- Bryan Gullan - Avoiding accessibility pitfalls
- James Wheare - Live bus times, a Google maps mashup
The photos from last night are online and can be found on flickr, the slides, links and hopefully audio of the talks will be available soon.
A big thank you to the fantastic speakers yesterday, to Torchbox for their generous sponsorship and to all the wonderful people who helped me out on the night.
We're planning to organise a second Oxford Geek Night in a few months time.
