An 
Production
It’s awesome to see some exposure for South African WP-related projects here. In preparation for WordCamp SA, we had held a WP Cape Town meetup yesterday, where 50 odd WP enthusiasts pitched up to just discuss everything WP.
The multimedia site from Avusa really is slick. As Adii said, at last nights WordPress meetup I did a quick announcement about Wordcamp and the response was overwhelming! Looking forward to it!
Everyone was very stoked to hear what you had to say Adii! The Meetup Rocked. Strange that this was exactly what you were talking about. Great to see that something like this got a two thumbs up. It really looks great.
