Geek Meet May 2007 – HTML 5 and XHTML
Time for the last Geek Meet before the summer, and it will most likely be an intense one. 
There will be two presentations about a topic that everyone seems to love to discuss: HTML or XHTML. There are a lot of opinions, and misconceptions, about these and my hope is that two very talented persons will shed some light on it.
The presentations
- Simon Pieters (aka zcorpan)
- Simon will talk about HTML 5, and how to practically use it. If you want to do your homework before the presentation, he recommends The Future of HTML by Lachlan Hunt (hey, why ain’t I under Cool Blogs?
) and WHATWG and HTML 5 FAQ. - Åke Järvklo
- Ã…ke will cover some history behind XHTML and the transition period, and he has a vast experience with XHTML.
My hope is that it will give you a balanced view and I’m fairly convinced that we can definitely learn something from this and have a great discussion. Also, please note that this meeting will be held in Swedish.
Location and time
The meeting will be held May 23rd and start at 18:00, and this time we will be at a new location. Valtech are sponsoring this evening and they are located here.
Beer and some kind of food will be provided, so all you need to bring is a happy attitude and will to learn and discuss. See you there!

Great, everyone!
Lachlan,
I bow my head and say thankya! But it really was a joke, I don’t think I’m worthy being amongst those other names as well as on your web site. You’re a genius, I’m just a guy who writes…

Jag omfamnar min inre nörd och dyker upp. Ja jag vet att jag sagt det förr men nu är jag verkligen på ingång. Jag tar med mig en gäst också.

Vet ännu inte om jag kan kika in men om jag kan komma loss tänkte jag trilla förbi.
En frÃ¥ga bara: det stÃ¥r inget om hur mÃ¥nga det finns plats för eller om nÃ¥got datum man mÃ¥ste anmäla sig innan för att fÃ¥ plats — är det bara att komma eller mÃ¥ste man anmäla sig pÃ¥ förhand?

Thanks everyone!
And, please, since most readers here are non-Swedish speakers, please comment in English; I’m not being pretentious, I just want everyone to understand.
David,
To be able to do an estimate of people coming (for food and beer planning, what room to be in etc), I would appreciate if you let me know at least a couple of days before the evening.
Basically, there’s always room for everyone who wants to come, but to make the experience as enjoyable as possible, it’s good to know about how many will show up.
May 7th, 2007 at 9:17
I’ll show up.
May 7th, 2007 at 16:34
Jag kommer.
May 7th, 2007 at 17:06
