Dear All,

I am in strong support for FOSS4G in Dar-es-salaam and since I am also 
part of the organisers for the Geo4Africa Summit we shall be holding a 
codesprint in Kampala, Uganda.
This gives a strong stand for Africa as a region and promote FOSS4G in 
Africa.

This is an opportunity that has to be maximised for the region.
