Hi Lodewijk, Thanks for kicking this off.
I think it's great to use the opportunity of being physically in Cape Town and having the broader African community present to get together. I would be really sad if we miss this opportunity (and I know you would, too). How about the following? Do you think it can work that the international team sets up a (potentially invitation only event) where we invite (potential) African organizers for a meal (ideally dinner) to spend some time together and talk. I like the mix of talk over food: we all need to eat ;), and a more casual framework can help us open up more easily towards each other. This will also help us take our time and spend 2-3 hours together, as opposed to rushing from one room to the next.
