GeekUp
Wednesday March 19, 2008 at 6:00pm
The Living Room
7 Greek Street
Leeds, England LS1 5RW Get Directions
NB: we'll be at the Living Room on Greek Street for this month only!

This month
We have two 20:20 lightning talks lined up:
* Mark Sailes on "How version control will save the world"
* Daniel Drozdzewski & David Turner on XP (the Extreme Programming variety)

There's just about time for an ad-hoc 20:20 if anyone feels the need!

What is GeekUp?
GeekUp is a community of web designers, web developers, and other tech-minded folk from the North. Our socials take place once a month in Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Preston and Sheffield and are always a lively place to share ideas and spread a little knowledge.

Who can attend GeekUp?
While the focus for GeekUp is predominately web related anybody involved in the technology industry is more than welcome to attend a GeekUp. The monthly events are free, we just ask that you buy your own beer.

Cross Keys?

Apparently we now have to pay £100 for room hire for the Cross Keys! so we can't use that unfortunately :(

I like the lesbian chic of The Adelphi. The beer is even nicer than the shabby but interesting decor.

The food is good too. It's upstairs but then so is the Lounge (sometimes).

Victoria? - good beer at a reasonable price with space.

I've just found you, so it'll be my GeekUp cherry. The Adelphi is good but it gets very busy (though maybe not on a wednesday) Is there anywhere with free Wifi? I think The Reliance has it.

Another vote for The Adelphi here. Assuming they have WiFi.

all that's needed is for one kind soul to set up an wifi adhoc network with their 3G card

Unfortunately we were unable to book the Adelphi (costs money) and there's no wifi at the Victoria, so after much searching we've opted for the Living Room on Greek Street... cheers everyone for all the suggestions!

I shall be announcing something there too, but it will only take a couple of slides

I don't think I'm going to be able to make this one, but I'll give it a shot.

Looks like my talk can wait 'til the next one.

...phew :)

Who do I talk to to let them know I want to do one, anyhow?

Now this is getting silly. Too many double bookings in my diary so yet again I cannot come. It's nothing against Leeds, I've already had to say sorry to Manoj who is doing a demo evening in Manchester on Wed too. But I got an export awards dinner in Sheffield. Free booze and nosh (courtesy government) and chance to shmoose with local businesses who are showing off websites. What can you do?
