Remember the Source
This will be about why we need to remember the source of the free/libre knowledge movement with examples of free knowledge projects emanating in Africa. The key issues to be covered include the need for localisation and research on human language technologies, inclusivity, accessibility, community-led innovation and global sustainability. Projects to be highlighted include MobilED [http://mobiled.org/ ], Singazenzela [http://wiki.singazenzela.org/], WirelessAfrica [http://wirelessafrica.meraka.org.za/ ], tuXlabs [http://www.tuxlabs.org.za/ ], SchoolNet Namibia [http://www.schoolnet.na/ ], Social Entrepreneurship Network [http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Portal:Social_entrepreneurship ] and other initiatives emanating from or involving Africa.
