Announcement for these training will be shared to the community as soon as they are ready and updates will be posted on the ict@innovation portal page. Please stay tuned for updates. SFD conference will take place in Dar Es Salaam on 15th September, we were looking at using Blue Pearl Hotel but due to unavoidable circumstances we will change to new venue and will be notified later. Conference will include paper presentation / discussions, networking, goodies, technical training, FLOSS cultural event, and Freedom Toaster. The event will bring together professionals, students, FOSS organization, training colleges, and public. ict@innovation will be in action through out the pre and the event.
