The way forward and AfricaSource II

20 Mar 2004

The final official day of Africa Source focussed on how to take what we've learned, the connections we've made, and our renewed spirit and continue to do excellent stuff with Open Source in Africa's development. We identified who wasn't at Africa Source that we may invite to Africa Source II, what more end-user-oriented knowledge we could impart, and possible goals for the conference. Tactical Tech are keen on organising Africa Source II in about six months, and I wish them the best of luck!

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.
