ict@innovation invited about 20 people with expertise and experience in FOSS training and/or certification from different African countries to a workshop in Johannesburg, from 15 – 17 October 2008.

During 3 days, the participants shared experiences with FOSS training and certification in different contexts and countries. They discussed approaches to address FOSS certification in Africa, and debated their views on how the ict@innovation component on FOSS certification could ideally and realistically be designed.
