barcamp cape town

BarCamp Cape Town is at last happening this weekend (15-16 June)! This is a last call to anyone involved or interested in the local tech/web/software community to book your place at this very cool “un-conference�.

Just to revise: there is no entrance fee, but in order to attend you must participate in some way… Even if that just means giving your opinion and feedback on some of the ideas that are going to be discussed.

But if you're not interested in the connections and knowledge, then come for my mother’s heavenly biscuits and the coffee (sponsored by Caffeine, Sea Point)which will be for sale at the tuckshop (profit goes to charity!).
