Sussex Geek Dinner #6

October 5th, 2006 · 1 Comment · General

Last night’s dinner was certainly the best of the three I’ve attended to date. Many thanks to Simon for his hard work once again.

Two innovations: (i) a move to Brighton, arguably the epicentre of Sussex geekery, and (ii) the inclusion of a presentation within the format. Both were successes. There was a much livelier feel to the event (and I’m sure numbers will grow based on word-of-mouth), and Tristan’s low-tech presentation of Plone was quite excellent.

On a personal note, it was good to meet with other developers, including Clive, a Horsham-based web designer.

    Great to see an update ;)

    I know what you mean about meeting fellow geeks - have meet a number of fellow missionary geeks out here in Chiang Mai, Thailand using all sorts of geeky skills to help and support community development activities.

    If any of you are tempted, Chiang Mai has great schools, accommodation and internet access :)

    Anyway, back to software and pig farm development…
