Afropixel: open source tools and WikiAfrica

 

The first Afropixel (organised by Kër Thiossane) was a great success! The open source programming tool Pure Data was a major discovery for many of the participants of the Bricolabs workshop (some of them came all the way from Mali - a bus ride that took two days and nights)

WikiAfrica/Palabre is a project aiming to 'africanise' Wikipedia through different networks, research projects, publications and events. WikiAfrica contributes texts, citations, images, audio and audiovisual documents to online and offline Wikimedia projects.
