ZAWWW 2009 Conference in Port Elizabeth

Yesterday, I did my presentation of the paper Preserving Endangered Languages using a Layered Web-based Archive, which was co-authored with Gina Paihama, Morwan Mohamed Nour and of course the great Dr Hussein Suleman. It was my first paper to get published and of course my first presentation at a conference. What an amazing experience it was. And once again, I would like to take this opportunity to thank my research group,  Digital Libraries Laboratory of the Department of Computer Science at the University of Cape Town, for all their useful feedback during my dry run and for all the support they gave me to do this right. My presentation was indeed excellent, and I am proud to say that. I hope to be in SAICSIT on the 12th October 2009, should everything go well. A little bit of fun for the rest of the day in Port Elizabeth and of course back to Cape Town tomorrow. :-)
