A glass half-full of lessons learnt via RSS.
Is the glass half-empty or half full? If you’ve experienced a GeekDinner in Cape Town or Jozi your glass would be half full of ideas, the other half full of Stormhoek, coffee or juice in my case.Some of you have been following the Geekdinner Soapy that has been unfolding in your RSS feeds.
The first geekdinner in South Africa was held in cape town with the theme Umuntu Ngubuntu Ngabantu roughly translated, a person is a person through other people.
It spread to JHB and ended the year in Hout Bay with Summer in Cape Town.
Some of you have been following the event accross the many South African blogs. http://www.google.com/reader/shared/10437688810357774731 (and there’s a feed too)
