Oxford Geek Nights offer a chance for web developers and designers in the local area to get together, share their skills and talk about new ideas, techniques and technologies.
Each OGN consists of two keynote talks of 15 minutes each. There are also frenetic bursts of socialising, sometimes adverts for other local groups, but always interspersed with two sets of 5-minute-long microslot sessions.
Keynotes
Keynote speakers are invited to talk at Oxford Geek Nights. So far our confirmed keynotes for OGN23 are:
- Telling stories: the ideas behind NoTube, by Vicky Buser, IA/User Experience Researcher at BBC R&D (slides)
- Euler be Back: Why graph data rocks my world, by Jim Webber, Chief Scientist at Neo Technology, the company behind the Neo4j database (slides)
Microslots
Microslots are five-minute "lightning talks" that anyone can volunteer for. They consist of around five to ten slides and the audience is generally friendly and interested! Here are the confirmed microslots for OGN23:
- The Energy Pet, by Matt Prescott
- Linaro: Linux on ARM, by James Tunnicliffe (slides)
- Why contributing to Drupal is awesome, by Robert Douglass (slides)
