Dear Skunks. As we gear up to host the Idlelo 6 meet up in Nairobi, the FOSSFA community is running a tweetup on Friday. Looking forward to your participation. I hope with the conference being in Kenya we can revive the spirit of the Open Source community in Kenya and bring new blood to the community. My personal thoughts is that the open source community in Kenya is not as strong as it use to be..it is upto us to rebuild this community. Do have a look at the conference programme that continues to build on the website: http://idlelo.net/content/sessions Registration is also open. Do Register to participate here: http://idlelo.net/content/idlelo-6-conference-registration Looking forward to your active participation. Regards.
