StarCamp today!

08 Dec 2007

StarCamp!After a few weeks of organisation hell, StarCamp is finally here, and I can kick back and relax as it switches to self-organising.  Or something.

Anyway, we have some great speakers already signed up - from Princeton academics on Net Neutrality and E-Voting to my own boss just doing a favour for me, Vinny Lingham of SynthaSite on something about venture capital and/or start-ups, to user experience expert Phil Barrett talking about what he does, Rafiq Philipps on his experience at TED, and Norman Rasmussen on the future of the .NET platform.

We have copious amounts of free food (sponsored by Sentient Communications), and some free coffee (non-filter, unfortunately) and tea and so forth, a big LCD TV and a Wii and an XBox 360 for those who want to relax, and plenty of other stuff to hopefully keep people entertained.

So, even if you haven't signed up, just pitch up today (Saturday) between 9am and 5pm, or tomorrow (Sunday) between 10am and 4pm for as long or as short as you'd like and see what it's all about.

Okay, time to pack everything up and head to the venue, then.  Hope to see you 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.
