Hi, Sorry, just want to post a note about a new event that I am helping organise.
Africa Gathering : A day for thinkers, supporters, sponsors, doers, geeks, dreamers - and everybody else to come and share, promote, highlight, progress and evolve issues related to ICT, social networking and technology in Africa. Saturday 25th April 2009, London. (http://www.africagathering.org.uk/) I am helping organise it as part of a new series of geekyoto Global Briefings (http://www.geekyoto.com/) about other parts of the world. Edward Scotcher, who spoke about technology and Africa last year at geekyoto'08 is the main person behind this. Yes this is being done without my BBC hat on :). Its not all about technology but that plays a strong part of it. If you are interested then let me know, or sign up at the site. If you know someone who might be interested then please pass this on. (we are currently still trying to source the venue, if you know of one that might be suitable then please do let me know). Thanks Mark. --- Mark Simpkins Senior Technical Project Manager (Products, Navigation & Development), BBC Vision (Multi Platform Productions) BBC Future Media & Technology Room MC3 A1, 201 Wood Lane, London W12 7TS t: 020 8008 2876 e: mark.simpk...@bbc.co.uk m: 07855 365 481 - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
