StarCamp presentation videos available

26 Feb 2008

One of the StarCamp heroes was Stefano Rivera, who set up and ran the video capture of the presentations from StarCamp.  He has encoded the 12 presentations captured from the two days of StarCamp and they're now now available from archive.org.

I haven't watched the videos yet, but the best picks from memory will probably be:

  • David Robinson's presentation on some on some of the deficiencies (as well as mitigating factors and benefits) of eVoting.  How cool to have one of the foremost experts in the world talking about a topic, and Associate Director of the Center for Information Technology Policy at Princeton University to boot;
  • Phil Barrett's presentation on User Experience - even though Phil's based here now, he also brought years of international experience at the forefront of his domain to our humble get-together
Really need to start looking into venues and times for StarCamp Cape Town 2008 (at least, the first one of 2008).  May have something similar happening in Johannesburg in September, as well, depending on how things go.

Hi, I'm Neil Blakey-Milner, a technology generalist most interested by open source, security, and building scalable systems (especially if I get to use the Python programming language).

I "work" at the incredibly fun web-sites-for-everyone startup SynthaSite based in beautiful Cape Town, South Africa.

What I do

  • StarCamp

    I was the main instigator behind this 2-day unconference in December 2007 in Cape Town. There'll be another one in Cape Town around July.

  • GeekDinner

    I help out in making these geek social events happen every two months in Cape Town since March 2007.

  • SynthaSite

    I make sure that the systems run smoothly at this Cape Town-born Web 2.0 startup.

  • Presentations

    I speak publically on a number of topics - generally related to technical aspects of open source software or on software development.

  • Code

    I've written a few software projects of my own over the years (although mostly I'm the only user of them).

  • Photos

    I'm far from an artist, but I enjoy capturing my experiences on camera.
