Brown University’s CIT (Directions)
Providence, RI
October’s Geek Dinner will be the first one that we take on the road. Brown’s Computer Science Department and the Brown Forum for Enterprise have graciously volunteered to host us at Brown’s CIT. (And no, we are not abandoning AS220 as our unofficial clubhouse.)
Brown CS Professor and Providence Geek, Shriram Krishnamurthi, and his team of researchers will be unveiling for the first time publicly their reactive programming language for the web—Flapjax. You do not want to miss this.
Since we’re at the CIT, the food situation is going to be a little different this time. We suggest you walk over to nearby Thayer St., grab some food, and bring it to the CIT. Here are just some of the many take-out options there:
[Update: Shriram has posted a mash-up of nearby eateries here]
Geek Dinners are totally casual. Wear whatever, bring whoever, arrive and vamoose whenever… Topics of conversation will vary as they will at any gathering of geeks, but many of us will be talking about AJAX, mash-ups, start-ups, new devices, business models, interaction design, social computing, digital art, and web services.
Please RSVP using the comments on this blog entry so we can give the good folks at Brown an estimated headcount. And while you’re at it, subscribe to Providence Geeks’ feeds and/or join our very-low-volume email announcement list (for the announcement list, send an email to Jack Templin at jtemplin at Gmail with your name and affiliation).

[...] Tonight’s Geek Dinner will be at Brown’s CIT. If you haven’t RSVP’d already, you can do so here. I’ve been out of the geek dinner loop for the past couple of months but will be going tonight and look forward to catching up with everyone. [...]

I regret that I will be unable to come, because I’m out of town, but I’m posting here because I want any undecided folks out there to know that this is going to be one amazing geek dinner! If you blog about it, please let us know; I’d really like some play-by-play coverage! And photos, send your photos to the Providence Geeks photo pool: http://www.flickr.com/groups/providencegeeks/
