Well, you are probably here because someone told you about this wonderful thing called a geeknic.  So what is it, you may ask?  A geeknic is rather simply a picnic for geeks.  Throughout 2009, we’re planning (and helping others plan) geeknics all over the world.  Anywhere there are geeks, we would love to see a geeknic happen.

So what happens at a geeknic? Well, it will vary by location, by what is available at the site, and by the decisions of the planners of each individual geeknic. No two geeknics will be the same, but they will all be exciting and fun events for local geeks.  The common theme is meeting in the outdoors (something unusual for us geeks) and having a good time.

When possible, many geeknics will be attended by freenode staff, but regardless we’re here and happy to help promote geeknics, so if you need help and would like to organize your very own local geeknic, let us know at geeknic@geeknic.org.

You can also find us at #geeknic on irc.freenode.net, and we now have a facebook group too!

Afterwards, we will head to dinner at a nearby restaurant.

Pinball Parlour
808 Allentown Rd.
Earlington, PA 18918

The park has walking Trails, nature Areas, a playground, and open fields for frisbee and other games. We’ll be grilling, chatting, and having a good time.

We’ll be starting around 2pm, and sticking around until we all get tired of it.  If you’ll be joining us, please bring along a food or drink item to help out and email richpacs@sias.us.

On April 29, 2012, from 10AM until 6PM, the Ubuntu-my loco team will be holding a geeknic and release party.

This event will include a bbq,  Ubuntu installation and discussion, and games, as well as general discussion about the Ubuntu My loco.

Families are welcome to come, and while there will be food, more food to share is always welcome.

The Ubuntu-my team will see you there!

Cost is $14 per person for entry when you get to the zoo.

Parking at the park is $12 per car, cash only.  There are several public transit options available.

Please be at the gates around 10am.

You are allowed to bring food and drinks into the zoo, so feel free to pack a lunch.  There may be food available in the park, but some options may be closed.  You can expect a purchased lunch to run around $10 a person.

Bring picnic food.

It’s a big park so we recommend this location as the meeting point:

I’ll be the one with the Tux baseball cap.  Plus crutches.

Fingers crossed the weather stays dry for us.

This will be an outdoor event at a park with picnic tables, a volleyball court, and plenty of green space for other activities. We will have burgers, hotdogs, and other grilled delights. We also have plenty of vegetarian options (Vegetable shish kabobs, Veg. Indian Food, etc.).
