yes Tim, keep yo ear on the ground for Open Technologies Association of Uganda - Moreover, without the uneasy need for us burying EACOSS (the idea).
FOSS Training can and is being done by COSS and COSSNet FOSS Support will be done by e-tech and anyother company with the capacity FOSS Applications will be developed at avior nodes and anyother place with the capacity FOSS food will be served at Little Donkey - well not really u will have to pay for it! Open Data, OPEN Licensing, OER and etc can all be picked up by someone in the broader FOSS community in Uganda, and together, we all form OPTA. But yeah, at a national level, all matters OPEN can be and will be umbrella-d under OPTA and advocacy can be done at that level, with member institutions being able to share/get services one from another.
