All we have to do, as we wrap up, is burn about 60 CD’s with digital photos from a number of participants. It’s 21:00 in Okahandja, Namibia at the NIEd facilities where the evnt has being going on since mnday morning. I arrived monday afternoon, to a buzzing event, packed with African practitioners and geeks. <\/p>\n
