School of Open Africa launches in four countries by September

The School of Open is a global community of volunteers providing free online courses, face-to-face workshops and innovative training programs on the meaning, application, and impact of “openness” in the digital age. It is about to be launched in Africa. Affiliate teams in Tanzania, Nigeria, Kenya and South Africa will cover a series of topics ranging from Creative Commons licensing, intellectual property protection, open society concepts, and the Linux operating system. The community is collaborating with the Mozilla Foundation, WikiAfrica, several institutes and universities around the continent.
