\”A geek is an individual who is fascinated by knowledge and imagination, usually electronic or virtual in nature. Geek may not always have the same meaning as the term nerd. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines the word geek as \”1: a carnival performer often billed as a wild man whose act usually includes biting the head off a live chicken or snake 2: a person often of an intellectual bent who is disliked 3: an enthusiast or expert especially in a technological field or activity,\” though these are only three of many definitions.\”

Note: the dinner is for people that fit the 3 definition. If any number 1’s come it might put the rest of us of our food!

It provides a good opportunity to socialize, meet other developers, talk about new technologies, practices, software and anything they like. I have organised several of these so far. Here are some:
