News 3 November 2014: We negotiated a $250 concession on accommodation. Prices updated below.
Accommodation is 2 houses away from the training venue on the Pringle Bay beach front.
------------------------8<---------------------------------------------
Like the previous, the 2014 workshop will be presented in Pringle Bay, in English and Spanish, but starts with 2 days of lectures at SANBI at the University of the Western Cape in Cape Town, who sponsors bringing Jordi over from Barcelona.
Everybody who wants more intensive training, then moves over to Pringle Bay for another week or two. Participants are requested to put their own uses cases and feature requests forward for the PB hackatons. If all goes well, customisations should make it into a release at the conclusion of the sprint.
Please select from the options tabled below. The SA Rand is having a hard time, all currency conversions to be concluded on transaction dates using Google quoted rates please;-) Bitcoin will be appreciated. Non profit, public health, education and environmental organisations qualify for concessions, please pitch to us at admin@bikalabs.com. Sponsorships welcome, will be hyped, same address;-)
