NEPAD Youth Conference

25 Jun 2005

Tags: ,

The week before last I was nominated to attend the NEPAD Youth Conference on the Information Society, and so I'm going to be away for the next few days in Limpopo at Mabula Lodge, engaging with other young people in Africa about my favourite topic - the potential for development in Africa when information can find its way into the right hands and communication can take place between the right people. And, of course, the role Free and Open Source Software can play in all that. I just hope the conference in the information society has internet access...

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.
