Friends, "As a firm believer"... in Open Source (OS) it's good to be on this list. A few months ago I tried to become a member (been on LUG-KE for a while) but only recently actually made it. By the way too many people confuse linux and OS. Linux is OS but not the other way around.
You may be interested to know of the following UG groups hosted by dgroups.org (see below). I'm not sure they're very active. My interest would be in an OS.ug group or FLOSS.or.ug. Concerning practical issues like the power of OpenOffice and Apache (even on non *n*x machines). But also big question like why OS is interesting for the I(T)-community in Uganda (localisation, empowerment, bla bla). Before actually creating these new groups we could also further misuse this list until traffic is too much. For example Paul and his database friends could indlude [db] in the header too make sure the non-techies don't waste their time opening that mail. :) regards, J. aka Jacobo Global Teenager Uganda In this discussion group all the teachers and other parties can communicate about the Global Teenager project in Uganda. This is an open space with 3 members. IICD/Kyambogo PIT Group KYUPIT is the implementation and administrative team that is responsible for IICD Projects in Kyambogo University..
