The next 48 hours are jam-packed with geekiness. Tomorrow morning Tyler Reed and I fly to Cape Town and the crack, literally, of dawn to do all manner of cool things.
I get to spend the morning at the Cow Africa offices discussing the conceptual specs for the new Grid web site and the upcoming launch of our Java application. We’re also working on the final production of the first location-aware mobile documentary about black youth culture in South Africa, which will be launching on the Grid soonish.
Then the afternoon is Open Everything, with Mark Surman from the Shuttleworth Foundation, Philipp Schmidt from UWC and a panel of speedgeekers including Matthew Buckland, Steve Song and Rob Stokes.
That evening Mike Stopforth and Stii Pretorius (the legend) have organised a geek party at the beautiful Asoka bar. Click here to attend the event.
Then on Saturday I speak at WordCamp, with some local luminaries including Justin Hartman and Matt Mullenweg, the creator of WordPress and Warwick Poole, an old friend from VWV days who now works at Automattic. With Matt at the event this is going to be one of the most exciting social media events of the year.
