The Ohio City Bicycle Co-op's (OCBC) third annual "How-to-bicycle-in-a-blizzard (or just commute-in-the-cold) open discussion will be on Wednesday, November 28, from 6:30 – 9 PM. We'll serve our famous vegan chili (with meat etc. on the side) and hot beverages: there is no admission for this event, but free-will donations will be appreciated. So come down to the OCBC shop (we'll have the heat on) and learn tips from an invited panel of experienced winter cyclists, see new winter equipment up-close and in action, and share your own ideas or ask questions about any aspect of cycling in the winter.

For notes from '07, see the OCBC Wiki's Winter Riding Tips page.

Wiki Wednesday is a meetup with a featured speaker or discussion topic, related to wikis. We get together to chat, learn about wikis, find jobs, talk deals, and hang out. People who participated in the all-day Wikithon (a wiki hackathon) can show off their cool hacks. Anyone else is welcome to give a brief demo or lightning talk. We welcome wiki users, editors, contributors, admins, developers, and other wiki enthusiasts! Socialtext and co-hosts will provide the space and food — usually pizza and beer.

Our featured speakers in November will be a development team from Socialtext. Ingy döt Net, Casey West, Melissa Ness, and Kevin Jones will talk about recent superintense work on Socialtext's code including some hacktastic forays into Javascript, rethinking wiki editing and UIs, and more. Another out of town community member, Ethan McCutchen, may come by and give us a sneak preview of a structured wiki-database app or application builder, http://wagn.org.

Stay tuned for more details in this announcement and on the Wiki Wednesday home page.

We still have one slot free so do get in touch if there's something you'd like to get off your chest…

In true tradition we will honour our turn-up-on-the-night-with-a-20:20-slot, where it's left up to the GeekUp crowd to decide on the night who gets to talk. The 20:20 format is outlined on the GeekUp wiki but it's essentially 20 slides, with 20 seconds per slide.

What is GeekUp?
GeekUp is a community of web designers, web developers, and other tech-minded folk from the North. Our socials take place once a month in Leeds, Liverpool and Manchester and are always a lively place to share ideas and spread a little knowledge.

Who can attend GeekUp?
While the focus for GeekUp is predominately web related anybody involved in the technology industry is more than welcome to attend a GeekUp. The monthly events are free, we just ask that you buy your own beer.
