Hello members,

Here is an opportunity for us to join hands and promote internet freedom in our region East Africa.

The Collaboration on International ICT Policy for East and Southern Africa (CIPESA) who have been coordinating theOpenNet Africa project since 2013, is collaborating with Outbox to implement the 2015 strategy.

To this end next week on Tuesday 14th April 2015 from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM, we shall have a meetup with selected techies with knowledge of internet usage and security, to share about what OpenNet Africa is, what objectives we want the techies to test, what to test and what success would look like after the test.

Participants will be supported for 3 weeks to work on their ideas with support from mentors, after which there will be a pitching event to showcase the test findings and localisation ideas to adopt/improve the tools.

Judges will determine participants with the best findings and ideas for prizes.

If you would like to participate, please follow this link to apply and wait for confirmation. Please share this with anyone who you think would be interested in taking part.

OpenNet Africa is aimed at monitoring and promoting internet freedoms, primarily in East and Southern African states with an objective of providing a centralised platform that acts as a focal point for information on African internet freedoms and cyber security Read more...
