When and WhereThe seventeenth Cape Town GeekDinner, aka Quarrelsome Quince, will be held on Thursday the 26th of November at Cafe Max. Be there at 18:30 for 19:00. Address: 126 Waterkant Street, Greenpoint Still NeededGeekDinners are community-organised events. We'd love for you to help out with the organising - sign up to the planning mailing list and chip in if you can. For this dinner, we still need:
Agenda
TalksWe want short, interactive talks - a quick overview of a cool idea, or an interesting way of looking at things. We prefer to stay away from the how, and the technical nitty-gritty, and get an idea of the what or maybe the why. We like to keep the talks short - about five minutes, plus questions. Bring your slides on a USB stick if you have any, we will provide a laptop and a projector. Talks offeredIf you have something you'd like to share, please offer it.
Slideshow KaraokeThis 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.
Talk VideosAvailable on Archive.org MenuCafe Max are giving us a buffet menu for R126 per person (including service charge), as follows: StartersSalad of Goats Cheese, Caramelised Nuts & Poached Pears Mains
All served with Potato & Beetroot Dauphinoise & Al Dente Tossed Green Beans DessertMalva Pudding with Creme Anglaise WineOur wine is very generously sponsored by Delheim - many thanks to them for supporting the Geek Dinners. AVWe need AV equipment at the venue. Some venues have this already, but with others we need to supply our own screen, projector and microphone. If you can help out with this, please let us know.

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. If you want to be reminded a week before about the dinner, sign up to the announcement mailing list (or follow us on twitter). Please indicate if you would prefer vegetarian food by placing a (V) next to your name when you sign up - it helps us give the venue some advance warning.
Waiting ListIf you'd like to come, but didn't make it into the first 80, put your name here, and we'll bump you if other people can't make it. If you want to be reminded early about the next dinner, sign up to the announcement mailing list (or follow us on twitter).
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.
