Join us on February 11, 2026 at 11:00 AM (ET US) for an Apereo MicroConference featuring Olawale Fabiyi, HEMIS Technical Advisor at The Gambia’s Ministry of Higher Education, Research, Science & Technology.
In this session, Olawale Fabiyi explores how open source serves as a powerful connector—linking education, industry, and communities—particularly in emerging ecosystems where innovation thrives despite limited resources.
Drawing on real-world experience with the Open Source Academy and Hack Weakend, this talk reframes open source as more than code. It’s about human-centered ecosystem building, student employability, sustainable contributor growth, and collaboration across borders.
Whether you’re an academic, developer, community manager, or educational technologist, this session offers a replicable blueprint for turning isolated initiatives into lasting impact.
