For those who are or will be in the area, I've submitted a proposal for
an Ubuntu-ZA BoF - see
http://digitalfreedom.uwc.ac.za/index.php?module=wiki&action=wikilink&pagename=BirdsOfaFeather
This will be an informal discussion / get-together in a side venue some
time during the main event. The purpose is to encourage participation in
the Ubuntu-ZA LoCo Team, as well as provide an opportunity for whoever
has an interest in Ubuntu - and comes to UWC's DFX event - to meet.

Morgan
