StarCamp logo (and venue update)

25 Nov 2007

Thanks to Nur Ahmad Furlong and a couple of iterations inspired by Jonathan and I, StarCamp now has a logo.  Nur also made a badge to put on your page so that people know that you're going and can find out what it's about - you can get the code on the StarCamp main page.

I'm going to be checking out a venue tomorrow that sounds perfect for us.  Just in time too - only two more weeks to go!  We've had more trouble finding venues than I thought we would, as evidenced by the running commentary on the venues page for StarCamp, and I've certainly learned a lot about what's out there and what people expect and why my "perfect dates" for getting school halls weren't quite so perfect after all.

Hopefully we can finalise the venue in the next day or two, and then we can stop holding back on inviting people.  We have 50 people signed up on the wiki page, which is a good start, but I want to see at last 75 people on that list by mid-next-week.  I know I've delayed sending invites until things looked certain, and they're looking fairly certain to me now.

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.
