SA Geek Gods Competition part 1: Get voting!
Posted on 26. Mar, 2010 by Jake in Geek God
Recently I mentioned that the Geek Gods section of this blog is going through some changes. Rather than focusing on famous international geeks, the Linus Torvalds and Steve Wozniacks of this world, we will be taking it local, because this is after all a South African Blog, and its time for the local geek gods who make Mzansi tick to get the credit they deserve.
Unfortunately due to some recent gremlins in this blog’s transition to a new server the post calling for nominations is no longer on the site. But I managed to recover the comments, and so was able to compile the list of nominations you see below.
I have divided it into different sections. We will be declaring the winning nominee a Geek God in the following sections of IT:
Developers (NOTE: So that we don’t leave any stones unturned we have decided to have various Developer competitions for the various major development platforms), Designers, Entrepreneurs, Tech Journalists, Strategists
PART ONE: Developers: Drupal
And the nominees are…
Noto Modungwana (http://notomodungwa.com/blog)
Adriaan Rossouw (http://developmentseed.org/team/adrian-rossouw)
Anton De Wet (antondewet.com/)
To decide who you think should win, simply leave a comment below this post.
The winners and their achievements will be featured on the site in the coming months! Exciting stuff.
Thank you so much for those who sent their nominations, particularly Mongezi Mtati, Julia Makhubela, Mike Stopforth and various Cerebrans and Brandsh peeps.
Get nominating! And stay tuned for Part Two.

Sorry if you feel that way Steven, but I did call for nominations – I’m basing this competition on who was nominated rather than my own choices.
But, please feel free to nominate others, and once we have 3 new nominations we can have a Developers Part 2 competition…

In my very small private circle I hold my own as a geek. However every geek has his master and one that resurrected me from my own geek grave and opened my eyes to a new world of connectivity and I had since abandoned is Noto Modungwa (http://notomodungwa.com/blog) .
