[okfn-discuss] Hello World, Hello Africa, Hello East Africa!

Mon Dec 30 16:28:46 UTC 2013

Welcome Yulli!

Our School of Data team has been doing some work in Tanzania[1] that may be
of interest. As for other open community activity, a friend of mine is
doing Ubuntu training [2]. The Open Institute (based in Nairobi) has been
doing some great work in East Africa. [3]. You may also be interested in
the Open Data Research's project with ihub Research from Nairobi [4]

Do keep us posted on your progress and ask many questions on list. Someone
is sure to know the answers.
