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.

Best,
Lily
