Burundi: Software freedom

Software Freedom Day is a day set aside to celebrate the benefits and virtues of free and open source software. Globally free software enthusiasts arrange events, demonstrations, carnivals and conferences in celebration. For some, like those in South Africa, the events are usually well attended and popular. But for many the challenges of spreading the free software ideals are a lot more difficult. In Burundi, a small landlocked nation in the heart of Africa nestled between Rwanda, Tanzania and Lake Tanganyika, software is not an issue high on very many people's agenda.
