What does open source look like in the Ethiopian context? What are the opportunities and challenges of open source technology in Ethiopia? What are ways we can contribute to open source projects?
AhadooTec hosts a discussion series called Conversate!- this month at <A TARGET="_blank" HREF="https://barcampethiopia.wordpress.com/" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">BARCAMP</A>.  The goal to foster dialogue and collaboration among Ethiopians working on projects relating to technology, culture, and development.  Our next event focuses on open source, the idea of openly and freely sharing the information used to complete technological projects. In an open source culture, source code may be public and can be adapted and modified by others. Many large projects have been completed in this manner, relying on shared knowledge from a large group of contributors.
We will start the event by briefly hearing fromtwo speakers to get the conversation going:  Seble Baraki (Legal Lead of Creative Commons Ethiopia) and Tiffany Mikell (over Skype, based in Chicago, technologist and open source advocate). 
This is a casual after work event and those working in the IT field are encouraged to attend.
