Web Foundation write-up of the November 2009 LUG event

Stephane Boyera posted an awesome write-up of our November 2009 event w/ Tim Berners-Lee here: http://www.webfoundation.org/2009/12/first-day-in-uganda/

The rest of the day was dedicated to attend the Linux User Group meeting hosted at UNICEF (see also the Uganda LUG official site). It is a great occasion for me to thank again Reinier, Kyle, Simon, and Jon who did a great job in the organization of this event and also worked hard to meet our constraints in terms of agenda. This meeting was great for many reasons. First, it was very exciting to see all these passionate young entrepreneurs in the room, and to hear about projects happening all over the country. Lots of very interesting discussions, particularly on topics the Web Foundation is interested in like languages, illiteracy and so on. It was also a good opportunity for me to introduce the Web Foundation mission and objectives. The format of the meeting, with lots of group work was also very productive.

Be sure to read the full post linked above. Thanks once again to Tim Berners-Lee, the Web Foundation team, Kshitij Gheewala, Daniel Stern, and everyone else who helped make this event such a wonderful success.
