The Event: IDLELO 5 - Abuja, Nigeria
IDLELO is a Southern Africa word meaning "Common Grazing Ground". Idlelo captures the essence of FOSSFA's existence as well as the fundamental objective of the conference. The Conference is a forum for inclusive deliberations, assessments, strategies, and implementation of ICT policy, innovation, and trends. IDLELO5 is the fifth in the sequel with previous occurrences in South Africa, Kenya, Senegal and Ghana respectively.
The primary goal of IDLELO5 is to increase the awareness, integration and adoption of free and open source software (FOSS) in Africa within the IDLELO5 theme emphasising how such Free and Open Source solutions are being (can be) used to achieve Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015.
