Political history of BarCamp, 27dinner, GeekDinner, &c.

10 Oct 2007

Trust Tania to put together a pretty reasonable and equitable political history of the Cape Town technology get-together scene since BarCamp Cape Town through 27dinner, GeekDinner, and towards *Camp.

We've just had our first post to the starcamp-planning mailing list, where we hope people who are interested in helping out will join us to plan *Camp.  Our main aim over the next month is finding a venue, but more publicity and discussion about what people want out of it is always useful.

    And don't forget PodCamp!

    I am very, very excited about *Camp, BTW. I have Project Management courses sandwiching that weekend, but I will be there or be... a dodecahedron!

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.
