Who

I work for the Future Foundation doing sysadmin stuff, workflows and documentation. We provide secretariat services to industry associations, write software, host online communities and run events.

In my own time I'm a writer and tinkerer. Earlier this year I completed a project to setup solar-powered wireless mesh telephones in the desert at the Afrikaburn art festival (Camp Isigidimi) using VillageTelco mesh potatoes.

In the past I put together the first ZaCon (no connection to the current event of the same name). I'm a founding member of the Cape Linux User Group (www.clug.org.za) and setup the first Linux exhibitor stand at a commercial conference in South Africa in 2000, and again in 2001. I'm a long-time ISOC-ZA member and was previously a committee member. I've also been involved with internet.org.za for the past decade.
