Hi folks, I've created Bush-Hackers, a new mailing list for African computer geeks, and people interested in programming and IT issues of concern to Africans. You can subscribe to the list at: http://talk.fanafana.com/lists/listinfo/bush-hackers The idea behind the name is a combination of the African bush, and the hacker mentality. I've noticed that Africans are yet to make their mark in the various programming and geek communities that have sprung up over the past few years on the Web. Whether you are talking about Linux, Perl, or PHP, I cannot name one African who has made a name for himself or herself. We have to change this. The Bush Hackers list is hopefully a start that will get us to a point where we can build a an online community, an organization, and ultimately the numbers and skills to make the rest of the world take notice. Please pass the word on, and bring along an abundant spirit of sharing.
