Please see instructions there (or below) on registration.

* the entrance fee goes towards costs for providing meals over 2-3 days - this does leave us very short though, so any suggestions for sponsors would be most welcome.
* the event is open to everyone, as long as you are 'legal' (!) - 18+
* to use the UCT network infrastructure, we'll need to get people to register for temporary network access. Details will be clarified later.
* We have decided not to provide any machines this year since no one uses them and it's a problem to configure them. Please bring your own laptops/PC's, with whatever software you wish installed. We will make a local software repository available with more popular dev software.
* NOTE1: once you have registered here, please send an email to me (patrickatcs [dot] uct [dot] ac [dot] za) stating your name as well as you dietary preferences for catering purposes (halaal, vegetarian, etc)
