Latest:

New dates, 16 June 2006 - 17 June 2006.

We have a venue! De Kuilen Primary in Kuilsriver.

 

What's The Big Idea?

 

The idea is to bring the South African tech/geek/creative community together under one roof in the informal "un-conference" environment as per the Bar Camp Ethos. Think of it as Open-Source conferencing, this is YOUR conference, you present, you discuss, you attend, you spread the word.
