Always informative with great fun to be had meeting everyone, thoroughly enjoyed your photographs, did follow on YouTube live when we had electricity in South Africa.
Will go back as it appears I missed a couple of presentations.
Thanks for sharing!

Nice that you watched my talk. I hope you can take some Learning out of it to build your own community Meetups. Reach out to me if you need support for the invitation posts. ππ
Always glean interesting information then try to pass on, in our country we have @zakludick with a class 2022 assisting in Cape Town, @joetunex in Johannesburg starting similar growth with locals who I do hope will find time to visit and listen to latest, also possibly reach out to you should they require guidance or assistance. Silver Bloggers Community run by @lizelle and @fionasfavourites with more Team members. π Thanks for everything you do.
That was a beautiful meetup @joanstewart, would be nice if we could organize one here in SA as well lol.
Yes, it would be good to organise something in South Africa. Perhaps once we get #hivesouthafrica off the ground, @zakludick we should give it some serious thought, @joanstewart? I have experience organising conferences...
Something to be put to the locals when settled, with majority being in the Cape I would imagine that would be the province of choice.
Here you go, @joanstewart https://peakd.com/c/hive-150289
Great Zak created the #hivesouthafrica a week or two ago. I should remember using the tag π
@HiveSouthAfrica on Twitter to attract South African's put up by @jaynie some years ago.
Have not seen new page created on Hive at this point in time.
Johannesburg/Pretoria and Cape Town have hosted meetups many years ago on old platform, not seen anyone attempt a gathering of clans with problems everyone faces here with prices escalating.
I knew there was a Discord group back then and that was it, I was still a newbie finding my ground on the chain.
I engaged with @jaynie a few times but seems she's no longer active on the chain.
You should. Proper intro post coming in time. We've all got RL... :D
Watch this space! I am onboarding Saffas at an ever-increasing rate!
@joetunex, @lizelle, @fionasfavourites, @joanstewart - Getting a SA Hivefest together is definitely a must! In my case, myself and @clairemobey and all 3 kids (@merenludick, @aimeludick and @matthew-williams) all have Hive accounts and when we braai with @therneau and @jusipasetti and they bring their son @rexydayz, then we have 8 Hive accounts at the braai. This happens fairly often!
All we then need to do is invite @lex-zaiya and @loadreaper from down the road(10) and maybe a bit of a drive but @jasperdick, @stevemuis, @kylehighclub and @zo3d can join us and we would be having a 14+ Hive person event.
You see how this is gaining momentum? ππππ
Suggest you open an alternative new account with two or three holding the keys perhaps yourself, @therneau and another, team up then have one place to meet on Hive outside of personal accounts @HiveSouthAfrica appears to be available to do this still.
Twitter although opened years ago I still use to bounce all my South African content through. Perhaps use Hive Community to share into Facebook which of late is not really worthwhile. Discord open a new channel to put through announcements or share.
Cool. Let me put that into action this weekend!
I see things evolving here, nice! π Hope to attend the meetup in south Africa one day then, too.
Then, hire a bus and take a road trip...π
That... is a pretty awesome idea! Keep that idea on the board!
Awesome ideas here! π
Imagine! We get those party buses here in Cape Town! What a jol!
It would be great to arrange a #southafrica Hive meetup! Looks like it was an awesome time, I listened to some of the talks, and need to replay as there indeed was much to learn!
#HiveFest releases new ideas in the pipeline, time to discuss growth, marketing, being together offers opportunity to add input from different regions, support witnesses bringing new technology to the table, much to learn always.
Do it together with the others! π
That sounds like a crowd already... ππ
People are spread throughout the country, takes a couple to organize into proper community, thanks for your suggestion to get the ball rolling π
Let's get rollinππ
