Sir Tim Berners-Lee at TEDx Kampala
I'm pleased to annouce the first TEDx event I'm organizing as a Fellow, and what an a way to start! The man credited with inventing the web itself is speaking at TEDxKampala! Sir Tim Berners-Lee, founder and Director of the World Wide Web Consortium, and founder of the World Wide Web Foundation will visit the East Africa region in late November, stopping by TEDxKampala as our esteemed guest. Mr. Berners-Lee will join prominent members of the Ugandan IT space as we discuss the future of the web and the future of mobile in general (as well as in Africa) and other 'ideas worth spreading'.
TEDxKampala will be held on November 23, 2009 in Kampala, Uganda. Other scheduling details and venue TBA. For those interested, this site will have the details as soon as they are available.
Confirmed sponsors and facilitators include EACOSS (The East African Center for Open Source Software), LUG (Linux Users Group Uganda), and UNICEF. Other interested sponsors can reach me via email at j.gosier@appfrica.org
