Brighton Girl Geek Dinner - April

The third Brighton girl geek dinner happened last Tuesday, and feedback suggests it was a great success. 

Aleks Krotoski gave us a very interesting talk on 'The Social Life of Virtual Worlds' which managed to appeal even to those that had never managed to click with Second Life. 

The projector was mildly better behaved, thanks to the ministerings of Neil from FP, but we quickly had to discard the PA system due to painful feedback.

We introduced two new things that impacted on everyone this time, both sensibly prompted by Rosie: a no smoking policy (which is only fair when food is involved), and a money box.  The latter is to help us continue to provide a lovely night for everyone, while allowing attendees to show their support. 

I must sort new music for the next one though - I'm starting to be aware that every night so far has kicked off with John Farnham's The Voice.
