Oxford Geek Night #13 July 15, 2009

The geek nights are a way for local web developers, designers, programmers, neophiles or geeks of any other stripe to get together, chat, drink and listen to talks on new technologies and innovations.

== Keynotes ==

Our confirmed keynotes are:

* Accidental journalism: data, drugs, the Government, Timetric.com, and the Guardian, by Andrew Walkingshaw, co-founder, Inkling Software
* HTML 5 (tbc), by Bruce Lawson, Open Web Standards evangelist, Opera

== Microslots ==

These are five-minute "lightning" talks that anyone can volunteer for. They're easy to do: pick something that excites you, or a project you've worked on that you think might be of interest; then talk to a friendly audience for just five minutes with a handful of slides. Submit your microslot and we'll see you on the night!
