We gather in an overcast Johannesburg this week, sans Ben Kelly, to discuss the following:

  • Open document formats and the SABS appealing ISO’s ratification of OOXML.
  • The ultra-portable and sub-notebook market and who’s doing what in the space.
  • Microsoft’s strategy for Windows on portables.
  • Online operating systems, ala Jooce.
  • Privacy online and why people trust Google.
  • Mashing-up social networks and examples of applications that do this, like Flock.
  • Instant messaging.
  • Red Hat’s Mugshot.
  • Vodacom’s WirelessG, iPass and other innovative wireless offerings, like Skyrove.
  • Utility bandwidth.
  • Final confirmation of Neotel’s consumer offerings, including uncapped solutions.
