FOSS Advocacy for West Africa and Beyond

FOSSFA, in the framework of FOSSWAY project, has been organising a series of one day events in West African Universities in order to raise awareness about Free and Open Source Software and its advantages in education.

The aims of these events are to promote FOSS among West African students, provide them with opportunities to explore the world of FOSS and discover how FOSS can help them in their studies and daily productivity.

The beneficiaries of these events are those students that are not informed of the
open source option.

The events have the following calendar:
Ghana: FOSS Day at Ashesi University College, Accra, May 5th 2010 from 9:30 AM to 13:30 PM, Bldg 3, Lecture Hall 4, North Labone, Accra.
