Geekeasy Derby

Geekeasy Derby The place to get together with like-minded geeky folk for good banter and beer.

We meet on the second Thursday of the month at the Furnace Inn, 6-8pm to hear a short talk from a speaker, then drink and talk to our heart's content! The aims of the group are simple (kudos to Vanilla Ice for helping me out on these):

Stop:
Take a little time out of doing work to get some perspective on the work. Collaborate:
Work together, support each other, ask questions and learn from other

geeks. And listen:
Each month a guest speaker will give a short talk on a project, idea, pose a problem or share their passion.
