First 27dinner Cape Town for 2008

We almost didn't have a 27dinner in Cape Town this month, mainly because the event needed revisioning. Although after a virtual barrage of emails asking what the hell is happening, we decided to go ahead.

Stormhoek (new site) is kindly sponsoring the wine, as always. And Graham is going to give an update on the vine sponsoring situation.

We've got only one speaker this month: Adii.

We will, instead of the usual formalities, have a facilitated discussion around the future of 27dinner, how we're going to make sure it continues to serve us as a community, and how to get involved if you want to.

I just want to give a big, special thank you to Debora Wynne from PushPlay, (which I'll tell you a bit more about later) who swooped in at the last minute to help us out with a projector so we can have decent visuals on the night!

Lastly, it's happening at the Wild Fig in Obs, and we have space to seat only 40 people. We can usually count on 20% of people not being able to make it on any given night (hence we ask for 50 names on the list), but as usual, we have a waiting list of people who are prepared to step in and take up any spare seat. I'd like to remind everyone who can't make it to please take their names off the list!

Any items you'd like to add to the discussion agenda ahead of the discussion, please post as a comment here.

Insane! :) I'm the only speaker... Sheesh, I gotta feel some honour here, don't I? Look forward to it, especially considering I'm a "27 Virgin" haha...

Lol, you know it bru. We needed to have at least one talk at 27dinner, so I thought we might as well go large. No doubt, you'll dig it. Hope you make that big announcement you mentioned to me earlier;)

"We will, instead of the usual formalities, have a facilitated discussion around the future of 27dinner, how we’re going to make sure it continues to serve us as a community, and how to get involved if you want to."

So c'mon guys! Stop keeping the rest of us in suspense! What was decided on the future of the 27's?

[Dave]

Lol, not much was actually decided lastnite, other than Tim Shier from Quirk is going to help me orkanize the next one in Cpt.

We're also going to put guidelines for organizing, presenting, and attending at 27dinner on the wiki to make it easier for anyone to organize a 27dinner without needing to consult with Mike and I first. The whole process will, of course, be Creative Commons licensed.
