Next Event – Thursday 23rd August 2012 at 6:30pm

harbour

We’re going to meet outside the M-Shed to walk a section of the Harbourside Trail, taking in some of Bristol’s engineering heritage and hopefully ending up in a pub afterwards. If the weather is torrential then we will skip out the trail and go straight to the pub.

Girl Geeks – May 2012

We’re not having our usual meet-up this month as we’ve been putting all of our energy into the IT Megameet event being held at UWE on Saturday 19th May.

All of the major IT & Developer community groups in and around Bristol are coming together for this big meet up of geek groups which is open to the public. Each group will be doing a presentation on themselves, what they are about, and what they offer the local community. Several groups will be putting on a technical presentation in their chosen area. How-to workshops will be running alongside the main presentations. The event concludes with 5 minute lightning talks on a variety of subjects.

Attendee places are limited, so registration is required. Registration has been extended to Thursday 17th May so you just have a couple more days to sign up – we will be giving a presentation about who we are and what we do at this event and one of our Girl Geeks, Jo Reid, will be presenting a workshop on ‘How to make iPhone & Android apps with AppFurnace’

To sign up for the event go to the Megameet website

We are looking for sponsors and a venue for our June event – if you can help please get in touch!
