Brightbox hits the road 22 Jan 08

PizzaOnRails logoJanuary 2008 is by far our most sociable month to date. Last week it was GeekUp in Leeds which was great fun, and over the next few days, John and myself will be popping in to PizzaOnRails in London (Thurs 24th Jan) and also speaking at NWRUG in Manchester (Tues 29th Jan).

NWRUG logoAt NWRUG we’ll be doing a presentation about setting up Brightbox and some of the highs and lows, ins and outs of building a Ruby-related tech business oop north. After the event we’ll be heading to The Paramount for drinks, so come and say hello - we might even buy you a drink (or two if you’re a customer :)

When Brightbox met Kodefoo 17 Aug 07

I popped over to the GeekUp Leeds event on Wednesday at The Lounge. It’s a fairly new event (in Leeds anyway) and it was my first time, but it was fun to catch up with Rob Lee (of Kodefoo). We’ve been using the now infamous Apache 2.2 package that Rob backported from Ubuntu Feisty to Dapper for quite some time now, but completely unaware that Rob/Kodefoo is based only a couple of miles away in Otley!

Such a small world, eh?
