Biz Brekkie Wednesday 5th

Every second Wednesday morning at 7:15am we have a group of awesome people coming through to the shop to network and share ideas – the “Caffeine Business Breakfast Club“.

The theme this Wednesday is The Art of Business on a Cape Town Canvass. You’re very welcome to come join us!

…

Did you know that if you mention Caffeinespot in you blog (good or bad, it don’t matter) you get your muffin and coffee fix on da house? Mahala!

This week, we’d like to welcome to the blogroll: small-business developers Ideate; shaken not stirred Barbedwire, a certain Terence Drake, and of course, Mr. Drupal himself – Adrian Rossouw. Free muffins and coffee abound!

Caffeine and Opensource

Lastnite some of Cape Town’s alpha-geeks were at Caffeine swapping some next-level ideas.Among them were bloggers Conrad (aka Geekspin -the guy behind BarCamp CapeTown); Adrian Rossouw (Bryght guy and core developer of Drupal), Rafiq (the original Web AddiCT); Max Kaizen (the genius connector); Jerith (Amazon.com) and Dave Duarte (tech marketing maestro).

We also had input from Al (owner of a wireless technology company), Ashleigh (Light Speed Development), Charles (FineBushPeople and FreedomToaster), Nick (JigSoft), and Laurence (Mindspring).

When a group of like-minded people get together like this, big things can happen. Ideas can get developed and the group can decide to support projects and help them succeed.

Copious amounts of coffee fuelled the session – which went well into the night.

Note: thanks to the original Web AddiCT for the photo. We’ll add links later – the shops too busy to do it now:-) We didn’t get all the URL’s – sorry guys, we’ll put em up next time.

BarCamp Reunion

Some of Cape Town’s techno-cogniscenti will be coming to visit us on Thursday evening, around 6 O’clock.

This might be a good place to be if you’d like to hook-up with some software/hardware/market-maven type gurus.

We’re looking forward to witnessing business at the speed of conversation (<< as per Dave Duarte’s journal).

Drop a comment if you have any special requests and we’ll do our best to accomodate.

Two new addtions to the blogroll*:

- The Muso (blogging on independent music happenings in Cape Town)
- Christine Stander (Search Marketing and Web strategy blog)

*You might want to sample the new Cherryflava Blackforest Muffin when you come in to get your free fix;-)
