Description

This month is the launch event for GeekUp Sheffield, a regular social that takes place on the first Wednesday of every month. The inaugural lineup includes the following highlights (but expect more!):

Huddle facilitated by Marc Johnson: "Laying your legacy to REST"

An extended session looking at some of the technical issues of moving from a legacy system to a modern maintainable architecture. This hands-on lab will last longer than the presentations and you're encouraged to get directly involved in tackling a gritty real-world problem. Arrive early to avoid missing out.

Lightning Talks include:

Lorna Mitchell: "Deploying Web Projects with Subversion"
Ian Ibbotson: "OKCon and the Open Knowledge Foundation"
Tamlyn Rhodes: "Thinking About Usability"
Stuart Grimshaw: "How not to completely suck at Mario Kart"

If you'd like to contribute a 20:20 presentation or facilitate a Huddle at a Sheffield gathering, please get in touch or leave details on the GeekUp wiki.
