  • Geek lunch this month was awesome!  In Salt Lake City, we had 25 people attend, I heard that Roosters in Layton had a small crowd of 5.  Many from Code Greene and XMission came to enjoy a meal.  A special thanks goes out to XMission’s Pete Ashdown for picking up the tab for the entire group in SLC!

    Below are some pictures from the event: (full set of pictures is on flickr)

    See you all next month!

    Cheers,

  • Hi all you fellow geeks, it’s time once again for the monthly Geek Lunch.

    This month’s lunch is a bit late for November so we’re combining it with December’s lunch and moving it to the first Thursday this month. The reason we’re doing this is because we have a special guest who is joining us.  She’s a former Utahn who’s returned for the holidays and wanted to spend a little geek time with the ones she really loves, us!

    If you don’t know her, come and meet this local celebrity.  She’s the one and only Sheri Bigelow…

    Back from New York for a few days, she will be dining with us at Pat’s Barbecue.

    If you’ve never been to Pat’s before, it’s an amazing BBQ place.  We’ll be meeting in the main area in the back at one or two of the tables there.  Make sure to look for our geek lunch logo.

    Here’s all the details:

    Where: Pat’s BBQ / 155 West Commonwealth Avenue (2125 South)  / South Salt Lake, Utah 84115 (map)
    When: December 3, 12:30-2pm

    See you all there!

    Cheers,

    Clint

    Meet at the nearest location to you at 12:30pm this Friday, October 30.  If you have never been, look for the group with this logo at their table.  Geek Lunch is organized by the Utah Open Source Foundation, but you must pay for your meal.  We look forward to seeing all of you there.
