StarCamp update

We're two weeks into the first month of planning for StarCamp, which is intended to find a venue and identify our requirements.

Thanks to Jonathan and Tania for suggesting and chasing up potential venues.  So far, the University of Western Cape is the first to give us a "Almost certainly yes" in response to our queries.  I'm in contact with someone there, and we're going through the StarCamp venue specs to see what the best opportunities on the UWC campus.  I'm hoping we can use the UWC residences for those who are coming from afar or who would just rather stay over instead of driving home, sleeping, and driving back again the next day.

We're still looking at and for other venues for the next week or two, in case this doesn't come through, or if we can find another venue that can compete with UWC in terms of location, security, facilities, or cultural fit.  (UWC certainly fits well culturally.)

We have our first two confirmed sponsors - ProsperIS and Amobia.  Confirmed in the sense that they're willing to put their money where their mouths are.  But if we end up using UWC, we might not need to use either.  But they'll still be on the sponsors list, and be counted as people helping to make things happen.

Still a whole six weeks to go, and we already have 8 events offered by a total of 7 people, and 23 people signed up in advance, and 5 people offering equipment from their own homes to make sure that we can avoid having to charge anyone anything to take part.
