Software Freedom Day

20 Jul 2004

This year South Africa will also be participating in the new and more comprehensive Software Freedom Day, which is a public Open Source and Free Software advocacy campaign. Our local efforts will be organised through the Software Freedom Day - South Africa site. So far, the Schools' Linux Users' Group is planning another installfest at the MTN Sciencentre, and the East Rand Linux Users' Group is planning something big at the East Rand Mall. I'll be speaking at 2nd Open Source Software Africa Conference, so I'll be in the Johannesburg area - I'll try to report back from whatever happens there.

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.
