In the age of social networks, citizen media and innovation in digital collaboration *#OSJUBA* seeks to apply the means and tools of creative Open Source methodologies to the future of development and capacity building, particularly in post-conflict society.**** *#OSJUBA* <http://r0g-media.org/osjuba/> is a project initiated by r0g / agency for open culture and critical transformation. The project aims to forefront an open source revolution in South Sudan in the aftermath of its independence, taking Juba as ground zero.**** Details found here ... ... **** http://www.supermarkt-berlin.net/en/content/osjuba-juba-worlds-first-open-source-city <http://www.supermarkt-berlin.net/en/content/osjuba-juba-worlds-first-open-source-city> **** http://r0g-media.org/osjuba/ As a new country, this is a good opportunity of ensuring that Open Source Software is embedded in government policies / implementations before a lot of projects have taken off, making future migration to OSS difficult. I know there are members on this mailing list that have influence or even IT businesses with the South Sudan government and can move this initiative further.
