Crowdfunding: A good way to kickstart the online innovation culture in South Africa? I'd really like to present this, and get feedback and ideas as this is something I want to launch ASAP. It is also the topic of our panel discussion at SxSW in March. I'd like to run a brainstorming session, and see where it leads. (This is a continuation of first geekretreat: I presented this topic at Talking Heads) <Eve D.>

Geekretreat.co.za scrum - @xsyn

Microformats and the Semantic Web - @downtempo

Build your own incubator: what we learned creating a hybrid consulting & product incubation company - @downtempo 

Using Social Media for Social Good - @cluckhoff and @cathjenkin = i.e. CathSquared!  

Telecoms activism - we came, we saw, we were overtaken by events. So now what? I think this can cover Ivo's telecoms stimulating economic development question plus how we can help get that moving faster. This will be an hour long session. Sam.

Skill shares: I'd love to see people doing skill shares about basic electronics/geekery/how http works etc etc etc.
