Africa Source: African Free and Open Source Software Developers Meeting<\/a><\/p>\n

OK, I guess it’s official now. The wonderful people at the Tactical Technology Collective<\/a> are arranging a follow-up to last summers amazing SummerSource Camp<\/a>. This time we’re off to Namibia for AfricaSource, and it will be a blast (again). <\/p>\n

The work these guys do, is amazing, the events are really worthwhile and the idea of facilitating cooperation between the ‘traditional’ non-profit sectors in developing countries, and the open-source community is as good as it’s simple. (Simple in concept, by no means simple in implementation!).<\/p>\n

During the five day event, participants and facilitators will share technical skills and experiences, discuss key challenges in realising F\/OSS projects, and develop concrete strategies for strengthening the nascent community of F\/OSS technologists working in African contexts.<\/p>\n

This event is organized by the Tactical Technology Collective, the AllAfrica Foundation, and SchoolNet Namibia, in cooperation with the Free and Open Source Software Foundation for Africa.<\/bq><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
