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 OGN25 are:
- How to make rowing sexy: a web video case study, by Tom Wilkinson, Online Media Producer at the University of Oxford (slides)
- Getting geeks singing with Javascript, by Matthew Westcott, Senior Developer at Torchbox (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 OGN25:
- Solr: Your One Stop Search Shop, by Chris Rimmer (slides)
- Access in the cloud: databases as webservices, by James Webster
- OxBus, or: how I learned to stop worrying about when the bus would arrive and do something about it instead, by Matthew Owen (slides)
- Existential risks and AI, by Stuart Armstrong (slides)
- Refresh Oxford hack day, by George Hickman (slides)
