[open-development] open-development Digest, Vol 46, Issue 1

Wed May 1 18:40:26 UTC 2013

Hello Tim & All,

As we prepare for the Open Knowledge Conference, I would like to nominate
Oludotun Babayemi who is one of the lead and a strong advocate on
Open Knowledge in Nigeria/Africa.

We are confident that he would co-ordinate diligently to ensure a smooth
and successful even in September.

Best Wishes,
Hamzat
