<p>If you missed the <a href="http://oxford.geeknights.net/2007/february-7th/">last Oxford Geek Night</a>, you really owe it to yourself to make it to the next one. If you <em>were</em> there then you shouldn't need any convincing.</p> <p><a href="http://oxford.geeknights.net/2007/april-11th/">Oxford Geek Night 2</a> will be on the <strong>11th of April</strong>, starting at 7.30pm (talks start at 8.30) upstairs at the <a href="http://oxford.openguides.org/wiki/?Jericho_Tavern">Jericho Tavern</a>. Nat has just announced the two keynotes: <a href="http://www.hicksdesign.co.uk/">Jon Hicks</a> will be talking about typography on the Web and his thoughts on typographic trends for 2007, and James Webster from Amazon UK will be presenting Amazon's web service suite.</p> <p>In addition to the two 15 minute keynotes there will also be eight 5 minute microslots. Nat is currently <a href="http://natbat.wufoo.com/forms/oxford-geek-night-microslot-proposal/">taking proposals</a> for these; this is a good chance to give a lightning demo of something you've worked on and a great opportunity for first time speakers to gain valuable experience in front of a friendly audience.</p> <p>The event is sponsored by <a href="http://www.torchbox.com/">Torchbox</a>. Entry is free to all, but you should <a href="http://upcoming.org/event/164380/">sign up on Upcoming</a> to give us an idea of numbers.</p> <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/amazon">amazon</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/james-webster">james-webster</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/jon-hicks">jon-hicks</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/natalie-downe">natalie-downe</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/oxford">oxford</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/oxford-geek-nights">oxford-geek-nights</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/torchbox">torchbox</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/typography">typography</a></p>
