When and WhereThe eighth in the new series of original GeekDinners, aka Happy Habanero, was held on Wednesday the 28th of May 2008, at Mel's Village Kitchen at 18:30 for 19:00. Cape Town WordPress Meetup 3 was at 16:00 on the same day, so you could do two geek events in a row. Address: Mel's Village Kitchen Rondebosch Village is just off Klipfontein Road, opposite the Red Cross Children's Hospital, just east of the intersection with Milner Road, as it hits the M5. There is a map here. Agenda
TalksThe plan is to keep the talks interactive. We want to hear about new and interesting things. Talks are meant to be short - between 3 minutes and 5 minutes without questions. Questions go on while people are interested. Also, if you would like to talk, please prepare at least a bullet list of your content and post this after the event. There will also be an "open mic" session for spur-of-the-moment inspirations. We'll organise a projector so you can bring your slides on a USB stick or similar, or, if you must, a laptop. Talks3 talks:
= Talk VideosAs usual, the talk videos are on Archive.org. Talks requested
Slideshow KaraokeA recent addition to the GeekDinner agenda is our Slideshow Karaoke. This is where somebody presents a talk based on slides that they have never seen before, on a topic chosen by somebody else. If you'd like to give it a try, or if you'd like to create the slides for whoever volunteers, sign up.
MenuThe meal will cost R115 a head (or about R125 with service fee included), and will consist of:
WineThe wine will be sponsored by the excellent Perdeberg Winery. AVThe audio equipment is being sponsored by Simply AV (021 782-5100). Thanks to Synthasite for letting us use their projector and Tania for locating a screen and Kerry Anne for fetching said screen. Remember

The GeekDinersAnyone can attend a GeekDinner, and attendance itself is free. You only pay for your own food and drinks. Just sign up here (and think about offering a talk). There are 80 places available - book early. Bring your geek friends and loved ones. Please remove yourself if you can't make it. And people. This is not the queue to get onto the N1. Don't push in.
ApologiesIf you wanted to be there, planned to be there, but couldn't make it, move yourself down here with your excuse. Or your perfectly valid reason for abandoning us. As long as you're not a Jonathan.
