GeekUp Leeds Pub Crawl - 6pm, Wed 19th Dec, 2007
It’s nearly GeekUp time again, so I’d like to announce Leeds’ 7th GeekUp. We fancied a bit of festive cheer this month, so we’re swapping our regular format for a GeekUp Pub Crawl. As usual we’ll be starting in the Lounge at 6pm (NB. in the regular bar area), then moving on to the next pub at 7ish to give everyone a chance to meet up.
Details:
* When: 6:00 PM Wednesday 19th December, 2007 (Moving on from 7:00PM)
* Where: The Lounge, St. Johns House, Merrion St, Leeds LS2 8JE

November GeekUp Leeds Roundup & NorthCast
November GeekUp turned out to be a cracker, once again, with a great turnout, so thank you everyone!
A big thank you to Dom (the Hodge) Hodgson for another great presentation - “from 10 to 10,000 listeners, in a year and a half - The power of podcasting”.
Dom also gave us a sneak preview of NorthCast, the exciting new bi-weekly (that’s twice a month) podcast, which I’m proud to be part of (in spirit so far at least anyway), along with GeekUp veterans Paul Stanton and Ryan Taylor.
NorthCast is dedicated to all things tech in the North - news, events, start-ups and interviews - so get your flatcaps on - NorthCast will be coming your way soon! NorthCast is run by the community, for the community, so if you have something you’d like to get off your chest, do get in touch.
We were pleased to have another last minute addition this month - Tom Smith (of everythingability & head York monkey) stepped up to give us a completely improvised talk on django, the python web framework, with only a few website mishaps from me (as I tried to navigate the django site), the talk was fully entertaining and informative, so thanks Tom!
