Uganda: Africa Source II

Over an 8-day period, 140 people from around Africa and beyond, came together to live, learn and be inspired at the Africa Source II FOSS technology workshop, organised by the Tactical Tech team. Presented in 3 main tracks, participants were invited to share their stories and learn from experts in the fields of ‘Information handling and citizen’s media’, ‘Migration for education and resource centres’ and ‘Migration for NGOs’. Sessions covered items such as Alternative Access and localisation. Undoubtedly, the non-profit and non-governmental sectors in Africa are turning to FOSS to solve their technology problems.
