A day late, but I've submitted my abstract to Open Enterprise which focuses on agility (and seems to want to spark a proprietary vs. Open Source debate). Here's my abstract.

Open enterprise: Attaining business agility

04 Dec

Tags: , ,
Looks like ITWeb is holding a conference in South Africa entitled Open enterprise: Attaining business agility, which sounds reasonably friendly to Open Source, and indeed has Open Source as one of its tracks. There's a call for papers, but nothing immediately jumps to mind. Any theories on what I should speak on?

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.
