Open Source Community Africa is a community aimed at creating and supporting the open source movement within Africa. As a community, we intend to help integrate the open source contribution to African developers while strongly advocating the movement of free and open source software to change the perception of Africans from just a billion users to the Next Billion Creators. To continue and ensure success, we have community events across African cities with localized content that fits local trends, enabling us to grow in 60+ cities. To support the overall program, we kickstarted our version of the Open Source Summit, which we called the Open Source Festival, started in Early 2020 as a flagship event that would attract student delegates, developers, designers, and corporate organizations on a large scale with series of talks, workshops, and awareness of open-sourced developer tools as they showcase around the latest happenings in technology and the growth of open source in Africa.
