More Idlelo

14 Jan 2004

Absolutely drained from having my brain engaged by the Idlelo conference attendees the past two days, and hence no posting. Yesterday focussed on Intellectual Property, including a spokesperson from WIPO. While a topic I'm really interested in and excellently presented, the trip to Moyo at Spier stole the day (I'll write about that later, hopefully). Today I followed the development (programming) track, and continued to learn about what's happening with Open Source in Real World Africa. One more day to go, and my ``Development Good Practise using Open Source Software" is ready to roll for 10am.

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.
