    Linux Training, the Kampala Experience!

    Happy New Year to all of you.

    Its been a very hot entry into 2012, from Kampala, and the heat could not have been multiplied by the excitement that comes with knowing Africa's premier FOSS gathering - IDLELO - is round the corner.
    Its a great time, as my last experience ushered me into the world of Linux and FOSS on the continent, paving the way for what has now become my life and bread - Linux Systems Administration, Training, and Advocacy.

    Looking around us in Awareness

    As we come to the close of yet another
    active year in ict@innovation,
    its time to take stock again. This is the that time we must look back
    and take stock. Its the time to look at our successes and failures,
    at the lost opportunities and the challenges that we surmounted. Yet
    we must also take time to understand what is happening around us, so
    that we can encourage ourselves and move forward into the future
    without any fear.

    Its been a momentous year for the FOSS
    community in Africa.
