Yay Novell! (I'm going to BrainShare!)

12 May 2004

Ask and ye shall receive. I contacted Novell SA about attending their BrainShare conference in Johannesburg. Linux is big at BrainShare this year, and that's what interests me. I suggested I'd attend and diarise my experiences on my web log and to the Open Source communities in South Africa in exchange, and I got an affirmative reply. So, I'll be in Johannesburg from Tuesday 25th to Sunday 30th. Buying me drinks would be greatly appreciated!

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.
