I've noticed only few e-mails with 'co.za' extension, and would like to find
out how many of us (us meaning Fellow Erlangers, as Ulf nicely put it) live
and makes living in South Africa. The major problem with ERLANG as I see it
can be summarized in one sentence:

As much as I can live with the risk of being run-over by a truck tomorrow, I
cannot expect the same level of tolerance from my customers.

I tend to think that what is important to me, might be important to others
as well, so how about getting together and figuring out ways and means for
cooperation and growth. You never know, we might just build up a critical
mass required for a success of ERLANG down here.
