Hullo all, The LinuxChix meeting will be on 17th february in the i-network boardroom at 4:30pm and not 10th as earlier communicated by Milton,
Linuxchix Uganda is a group of women that is birthing in Uganda, who are interested in using Linux and Open Source Software, both as back and end users. We are planning to set up a real team of women in Uganda who will be able to break the irony of 'believing that women can not do the technical stuff'and this will start with Linuxchix Uganda. Amidst us we want to build developers, Technical support teams, and end users, because much as we want more women to be involved, some still don't know what we mean when we talk about Linux and Open source, so amidst us, we are also planning real advocacy particularly targeting the women in Uganda to realise the beauty and advantages they obtain while using OSS and Linux and to bring them on board. This will help us build a strong team of women who know how to deal with real technologies and specifically using Open Source Software because of the freedoms and advantages they will obtain. Thanks, Evelyn Namara Technical Support Engineer, Linux Solutions, Uganda Kagga House, Bugolobi P.O.BOX 26192, Kampala, Uganda. +256782795320 "Having little is not bad, and having big dreams is very good, because even the richest guys today, started it all with a DREAM". > Kurup Kurup > > the flames from the last thread are just about dying and you want to light > a > new one. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Hari Kurup" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "WOUGNET Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Linux Users Group > Uganda" <[email protected]> > Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Monday, February 06, 2006 10:34 AM > Subject: [wougnet] Re: [LUG] Linux Chix Uganda > > > On Feb 3, 2006, at 4:12 PM, Milton Aineruhanga wrote: > >> Following this event, Linux Chix Africa- Uganda chapter was born, >> is now in >> existence and is seeking membership from women in Uganda.
