This is probably the single most inspiring Saturday night we’ve spent in years!

The place: Deer Park Cafe in Cape Town

The time: from 5.30 this afternoon until who-knows-what-time tonight

The people: some of South Africa’s (and the world’s) nicest and most capable digerati, including Jimmy Wales, Heather Ford, Dave, Max, Jacques, Joe, Neil and loads more faces that let loose tonight in the name of free culture.

Some interviews with Mr Wales and Miss Ford will follow over the weekend, along with some shots of the vibe and a few soundbites from some people buzzing around here. Included is a sensational announcement: the world’s very first Free Culture House will be built in Cape Town. More details in the videos coming soon.

We have to get back to the interesting conversations … and the great music in the background!
