So,
basically,
over
the
past
couple
of
months,
we've
had
more
people
contribute
to
open
source
and
speaking
about
individuals
and
we've
also
had
more
individuals
like
create
personal,
open
source
projects
right-
and
this
is
also
due
to
the
efforts
of
different
individuals
and
the
open
source
community
africa
chapters
program,
which
runs
in
several
countries
in
africa
right
and
we've
also
seen
that
we've
had
more
africans,
join
several
open
source
programs
like
the
google
season
of
dogs,
outreach,
which
I
think
is
currently
going
on
now.
A
Your
applications
file
through
chase
like
open,
so
please
check
that
out.
Google
sum
of
code
and
others
right
and
that's
it
in
that
regard-
and
one
interesting
thing
I
observed
is:
we've
also
had
organizations
who
are
actually
creating
more
open
source
projects.
There's
this
there's
convoy
right.
It's
a
nigerian
organization
company
that
is
creating
like
a
web
books,
web
service
and
it's
a
paid
of
free
service.
A
I
don't
know
one
of
those
two
is,
but
they
recently
just
got
seed
funding
and
it's
like
a
very
cool
project
and
it's
it's
all
open
source
right.
So
we've
had
stuff
like
that.
We've
also
had
several
proprietary
companies
that
kind
of
like
open
source,
some
of
their
developer
tools,
sdks
and
all
that
stuff.
There
is
two
peer
space
stack,
also
and
in
terms
of
all
those
kinds
of
organizations
who
are
embracing
open
source
and
creating
more
projects
like
that.
A
So
you
would
definitely
want
to
check
that
out
and
something
else
that
we've
had
going
on.
Is
that,
like
more
advanced
conversations
now
around
sustaining
open
source
in
africa
right,
if
probably
it
might
be
aware,
we
had
to
sustain
africa
summits.
A
couple
of
months
ago,
where
we
discussed
some
of
these
things
in
like
six
working
groups
and
the
reports
for
that
summit
is
like
published
already
like
two
or
three
months
ago
for
the
entire
community
to
check
out.
A
So
I
would
put
link
to
all
to
this,
so
you
can
check
it
out
and
then
try
and
see
all
that
was
discussed
and
you
know,
take
some
cues
and
learn
what
you
can
implement
in
your
own
project
to
like
ensure
you
sustain
the
project
and
there
is
also
the
sustained
podcast.
It's
been
like
some
podcasts
over
the
past
one
month
where
we
discuss
some
of
the
things.
Also
from
the
sustain
summits.
You
can
also
check
that
one
out
and
yeah-
that's
that's
been
late,
pretty
much
and
kind
of
like.
A
In
summary,
over
the
past
couple
of
months
we've
been
trying
to
like
gather
all
the
respective
projects
we
have
in
like
different
african
countries.
You
might
already
know
of
the
media
nigeria
project,
like
lists
all
the
projects
created
by
nigerians
right,
there's
also
the
similar
one
for
kenya,
ghana,
zambia
and,
I
think
some
other
countries
right.
So
I
would
advise
that
you
check
out
this
awesome
open
source
repository
that
contains
like
a
list
of
several
open
source
resources
and
all
that
stuff
for
africans
at
the
top.
A
You
would
find
you
know
all
these.
The
links
to
each
of
the
respective
countries
right
I'll,
put
a
link
to
that.
Also-
and
yes,
I
think
one
one
key
part
I
would
want
to
mention-
is
that
at
this
point
we
kind
of
like
encourage
everyone
to,
like
you
know,
come
together
and,
like
you
know,
help
us
find
what
you're
doing
in
your
country,
for
example,
we
I
mean-
I
mentioned
this
during
the
last
sustained
podcast.
We
we
had
like
as
little
efforts
like
let's
say
myself.
A
I
can
do
right
compared
to
you
being
in
your
own
country.
I
mean
I
I
wouldn't
be
able
to
like
come
to
your
country,
and
you
know
help
do
most
of
the
things
that
you
would
be
able
to
do
better
idea
right.
So
we
have.
For
example,
we
have
the
open
source
community
africa
chapters
program
that
runs
in
about
50.
A
Roughly,
I
think
seven
countries
are
represented
generally
right
and
then
we
have
like
46
open
source
enthusiasts
in
those
countries
are
like
running
the
program
right.
I
think
we
are
like.
We
have
like
two
two
chapters
in
in
east
africa.
We
have
in
west
africa
and
I
think
one
other
region
in
africa
right
so
like
we're
on
the
program
in
batches
right.
But
then
we
are
also
interested
in
like
starting
new
chapters
in
newer
regions.
A
So
if
you
find
yourself
in,
like
you
know,
east
africa
or
some
other
african
countries,
where
you
know
you
feel
like
the
ecosystem
is
not
covering
you
right,
please
feel
free
to
reach
out.
So
we
can,
you
know,
start
out
something,
and
then
you
know
you
can
begin
to
educate
members
of
the
community.
A
You
know
do
all
the
stuff
that
other
regions
are
already
doing
and
so
far
the
idea
has
been
for
us
to
you,
know,
educate
and
ensure
that
everyone
in
the
community
can
like
have
access
to
the
right
resources,
mentorship
and
guidance.
They
need
to
excel
in
open
source
for
their
own
careers
and
also
for
the
community
right
and
the
next
piece
of
things
we're
saying
now
is
we
want
to
begin
to
have
more
projects
in
each
of
these
countries
related
to
your
problems.
Like
I
mentioned
earlier,
you
know
the
open
source
community.
A
Africa
is
like
an
umbrella
for
everyone
right.
We
can
do
everything
ourselves
for
everyone.
So
if
you
find
yourself
in
the
community,
you
know
try
to
find
problems
that
exist,
and
then
you
know
solve
them
in
your
own
smaller
circles.
Right,
for
example,
you
might
have
a
chapter
in
your
in
your
country
right
that
chapter
can
decide
to
do
something
for
the
local
community
right.
A
We
want
to
see
more
projects
in
that
regard
and
solve
several
social
problems,
but
it
doesn't
have
to
always
be
that
it
can
be
anything,
but
I
think
you
get
the
idea
I'm
trying
to
share
here
is
that
you
know
we
just
try
to
do
things
to
the
best
of
our
capacities
in
our
own
various
localities
right,
and
I
think
that's
also
one
of
the
things
that
came
up
in
the
podcast
where
we
were
talking
about.
You
know
translations,
and
you
know
the
differences
in
all
the
different
cultures
we
have
in
africa.
A
Right
and,
like
you
know,
people
in
different
regions
might
not
be
able
to.
You
know,
assess
some
certain
kind
of
software
due
to
maybe
translation
issues
and
and
all
that
stuff
right.
So
you
might
have
that
kind
of
problem
in
your
region
and
then
you
can
solve
that
in
any
way
right
and
that's
kind
of
the
idea.
A
So
far
right
it's
been
an
exciting
year
and
we
spent
like
a
couple
of
we
spend
so
much
in
trying
to
like
educate
everyone
in
the
african
space
as
much
as
we
can
on
how
to
benefit
from
open
source
generally
right
and
we're
slowly
evolving.
To
the
point
where
you
know,
people
already
get
the
message
and
it's
more
like
now.
How
do
we
equip
them
to
like
do
more
right?
We've
been
having
like
several
events
in
different
local
communities
hosted
by
the
chapter,
leads
themselves
and
then
workshops.
A
You
know
taylor
in
that
regard
of
like
equipping
members
of
the
community
with
stuff
like
how
to
work
with
fashion
control,
using
tools
like
youtube
and
and
all
that
stuff.
So
yeah,
that's
pretty
much
it.
I
think
so.
I
would
encourage
you
all
to
like
check
out
the
awesome,
open
source
repository
and
then
see
all
the
stuff
we
have
there
and,
please
feel
free
to
like
add
yours,
we're
trying
to
just
make
that
a
collection.
A
So
everyone
can
find
the
right
resources
and
then
also
check
out
the
made
in
nigeria
made
in
kenya
made
in
ghana,
made
in
zambia
projects.
And
if
you
have
one
for
your
country,
please
also
ensure
to
add
that
so
we
can
all
find
those
projects.
And,
lastly,
I
think
it
would
be
that,
let's,
let's
all
try
to
you,
know,
create
more
projects
right.
There's,
there's
a
limit
to
what
different
people
in
different
countries
can
do
so
find
a
problem
in
your
own.
A
Local
community
solve
it,
and
if
you
have
something
you
think
you
would
want
to
collaborate
with
us
at
open
source
community
africa
on
feel
free
to
like
reach
out
to
us.
We
will
we
are
willing
to,
like
you
know,
help
you
find
the
right
resources.
We
find
the
right
parts
and
you
know
as
much
as
we
can.
We
would
help
you
right
and
that's
it.
So
I
think
the
most
exciting
part
of
this
show
is
happening
soon,
where
we
talk
about
the
github
sponsors
program.
A
So
you
can
also
support
open
source
community
africa
by
using
our
github
sponsors
page,
which
you
will
also
find
the
link
in
in
the
show
just
below,
and
then
you
know,
try
and
see
how
it
works,
and
I
hope
that
all
of
us
here
who
are
open
source
creators
and
contributors
would
better
learn
how
to
like
make
good
use
of
the
github
sponsors
program.
So
we
can,
you
know,
benefit
from
the
financial
benefits
that
come
from
creating
and
contributing
to
open
source.
So
yeah,
that's
pretty
much
it.
