Geek in the Park 2008

27 June 2008 | Owen Gregory

This summer, coming to a park near you (well, a park in Leamington Spa, actually) is Geek in the Park 2008. It's a free, all-day family event featuring a relaxing picnic during the afternoon followed by presentations from Jon Hicks and Drew McLellan in the evening.

It’s been two years since the first Geek in the Park event, organized, like this one, by Trevor Morris of the Multipack. The 2006 event was a great success, with fun and games in Jephson Gardens during the day and talks from Patrick H Lauke and Bruce Lawson on pragmatic Web accessibility.

Once again, the event will be held in Leamington Spa, starting at noon on Saturday 9 August. This year Jon Hicks will present Pixel Pushing: An Introduction to Icon Design and Drew McLellan will tell us What Brian Cant Never Taught You About Metadata.

For more details, including directions, visit the Geek in the Park site where you can sign up for a reminder nearer the time.

Don’t miss it! It’s free!

    Rainy day in Leamington: Geek in the Park

    The geeks gathered in Leamington Spa, but the clouds got there first. On Saturday 9 August 2008 it rained, as it has for much of summer in the UK. But although our t-shirts were rain-spotted and damp, our spirits were not and Geek in the Park Rain Pub turned out to be the success it promised to be.

    Workshops for Web people

    Professional Web events in the UK are hard to come by outside London and the South East. The larger events take place there (@media, FOWA/FOWD, dConstruct, for example) and training events like those run by Carson Workshops are also based in London.

    Ethical living and the Web designer

    Carbon footprint. Climate change. Fairtrade produce. Social and ethical investments. These are phrases repeated across the developed world, in the media, around dinner tables, even in the pub (now smoke-free). Rising interest in environmentally-friendly, ethical living is changing the attitudes of governments, corporations and consumers.
