Open source software is making in roads on the continent:
* Namibia runs one of Africa's groundbreaking Linux
projects:SchoolNet Namibia is a volunteer-driven organisation that is
working to see that all Namibian schoolchildren get access to a computer
and the Internet and run its system solely on Linux.
* In East Africa, a goverment policy document under development in
Kenya calls for utilisation of open source software. Uganda also has a
vibrant Linux community.
* In West Africa, Senegal is expected to issue a strong statement on
open sourse in the near future, says special advisor on ICT to the
president, Thierno Ousmane Sy.
* Ghanaian authorities say they may consider open source for
education and research institutions and sections of the civil service
that are not mission-critical.
* In Nigeria, agroup of charitable organisations is promoting open
source to develop ICT in Africa's most populous nation.
