That really is fantastic - this should be a good dinner.

A day later, and we're up to 37 people signed up on the wiki, which is  
pretty impressive.  I also think we'll get a higher rate of  
attendance, since it's "special", if you know what I mean.

Martin Lompa is offering to bring his big speakers (and maybe a mic,  
not sure) - do we have A/V equipment at the venue, or do we need to  
sort this out?

Finally, we need a name and speakers.

Kerry-Anne had an idea I really like for naming the Stellenbosch  
dinners.  That is, we use the same naming scheme as the Cape Town  
ones, only... slightly different.  So we propose that the first  
Stellenbosch GeekDinner be called "Aanloklike Aartappel" - what do you  
think?

Mariska is doing one talk at the dinner, on entrepreneurship, I think,  
and presenting a tool her company has made for guaging the levels of  
entrepreneurship (I may have this wrong).  We could do with at least  
one more talk, and I assume that we'll be doing the slideshow karaoke  
too?

I know Andy has some interesting stuff to say about wikipedia (more a  
list of stats about pages), but I'm not sure if he's coming to this one.

(If Wessel and Tania would hurry up and sign up to the dinner list, I  
can inform them that she'll be making slides for him to karaoke on...)

Anything else?
