Hi All

Things are moving a pace for the first Bootstrappers Braai . We now have a venue that we will finalize soon.

We need people to volunteer for the following roles
We require some help with the following:

Master of Heraldry: Someone to help design a funky logo
Master Gunner: Someone to help invite people and just create general awareness
Quarter Master: Someone to manage the booty
Boatswain: This person will help manage the stores and setting up functions
Sailing Master: Responsible for the Bootstrapper Braai Group/Blog and who polls attendees on changes/additions to the event
Again the main aim is to hold an informal social event for people starting companies/ involved with start ups or keen to start them.

We are looking for all those who may be geared towards assisting new startups
May I suggest that we set a date and venue for those who are interested, to get around a table to discuss the possibilities of a group thats core focus is the identification, assessment, development and marketing of new businesses/ideas in the ICT sector. Those involved would need to be willing to offer their time, expertise and effort to mentoring, coaching and facilitation of this process. It would not necessary be for free but on the other hand may not be at full price either. Let's chat and see what we can create.
It would be great to get some of the VC and Angel guys there to guide the process towards what they would consider a good investment to give us a target to aim towards.
I will post an official event item in the next few days.
All those interested say "Yes!"
