So why don’t you attend the BarCamp in Johannesburg tomorrow? The BarCamp is an unconference  where anyone can raise a relevant topic that you think is worth sharing at the session. Besides, geek has been the new cool for a long time long time now.

Some active  and influential online professionals will be attending, sponsoring and presenting over the 2 days of this prestigious gathering. If you want to find out how the movers of social media locally are doing it, this is one of the places to be.

Some of the proposed sessions that will be covered:

• Add your session here, it can be as short as 5 minutes
• Build a quick Twitter mashup using Django & Jquery in 30 mins
• Guitar Hero multi-playa – just to unwind
• OSSA – FLOSS Lobby Group
• JavaFX

Go to the page and proposed your own session, if you have anything to offer. They also welcome sponsorships and other contributions.

Signup here to attend and you’ll be boat-loads more tech-savvy by Monday.

The Netweb Event in Johannesburg this past Wednesday was very informative and got us talking till long after we had to leave. I’d like to thank everyone who made it exciting and worth the long chat we had afterward.

I would like to especially thank:

1. Noto Modungwa of NM Consulting – for delivering a current and relevant talk on knowledge management and how small business can improve the circulation of intellectual property in their companies.
2. Afromedia who sponsored the website we gave away.
3. The great guys at Cappello in Ghandi Square.

To all the remarkable people who attended and made it one of our most remarkable Netweb Events yet, you are all rockstars.

Congratulations to Infinity Learning who won our website give away, as one of 4 finalists.
