[open-development] Kabissa Open Data Directory for Africa

Fri Oct 5 06:11:32 UTC 2012

Hi everyone,

I trust you all are well.

I wanted to inform you that this weekend I am participating in SocEnt
Weekend <http://www.socentweekend.org/> in Seattle where I will pitch an
idea that is very inportant to me, to create a Kabissa Open Data Directory
for Africa, and am hopeful to be chosen as one of the ideas that will be
the focus of the weekend. It very much relates to the work Kabissa has been
doing over the years to support African civil society on the Internet, and
our interest in the last year or two to go open data.

If we are chosen, I'll let you know! If we are chosen we will be working
hard on the project over the weekend, so let me know if you are interested
in pitching in during the weekend or are interested in helping make it
happen generally.

In the meantime, here is a link to a video of my 60 second pitch as it is
at this moment.. it may still change and I welcome feedback! I need to give
it tomorrow night, Friday. http://youtu.be/3phG3pd6mqs

Warm regards,

Tobias
