Mon May 4 09:05:41 UTC 2015

Hi all,

Sharing this opportunity to participate in MozFest East Africa 2015.

-----

The Mozilla Festival East Africa 2015 will be held at Victoria Towers, Plot 1-13, Jinja Road, Kampala, Uganda and we would love to have you join us on the 17th to the 19th July 2015.

If you’re not familiar with Mozfest East Africa and want to know what to expect, picture hundreds of passionate people - journalists, coders, filmmakers, designers, educators, gamers from all over the continent - immersed in interactive sessions designed to foster collaboration  and participation.

Come with a great concept you want to make real, and we'll connect you with a community of fiercely unconventional technologists and creators eager to share their skills and knowledge to spotlight your work and to nurture your ideas. We'll all learn together through hands-on sessions and interactive workshops and we'll have dedicated time to hack the ideas that emerge when hundreds of bright minds gather together in one space.

The festival is organized around ‘tracks’ which are clusters of topics and sessions that we believe have the greatest potential for innovation and empowerment with the web. The tracks are as follows:
Social Innovation
Education
Web & mobile tools and technologies
Digital culture and the maker movement
Policy and advocacy
Open data & development
Community track
You can get involved in two ways:

Working on something interesting you would like to share with others and involve them? Or do you have a great idea you would like to build on with like minded people?
