Open Source Repositories Workshop!
Next Mobile Monday Dar es Salaam will be a special event geared towards developers. Last weekend the Sanitation Hackathon main event took place at the Innovation Space at COSTECH and one of the tasks of the final hack submissions was to upload them to Github open source repository, so the solutions will be available for others hackers as well, and they can continue and improve on the ideas. Use of the code repository was a new experience for many of the participants, so Mark Iliffe, one of the hackathon organizers, volunteered to organize a special training workshop together with MoMoDar and KINU before he leaves back for the UK.
The event will be held next Monday, 10th December 2012, starting 6.30pm sharp at theKINU Innovation Hub. You can share the event info and say you're coming via the Facebook event - due to the short notice no official registration is necessary.

Here's the full event information:
Hackathons and open source projects have been accelerated by open source repositories like Github. The social element of these sites facilitates cooperation between developers locally and worldwide. Understanding how programming works is one element, this talk is about the principles and practices of how source code is stored and developed within an enterprise. All welcome from the beginner to the expert, an overview of code repositories will first be presented then a live demonstration of uploading to the Github repository and its relevance to software engineering.
The training will be led by Mark Iliffe. Mark Iliffe is currently a Geospatial Consultant for the Global ICT group of the World Bank. In his 'spare' time he is also a PhD candidate at the Nottingham Geospatial Institute, University of Nottingham and lead on the Taarifa project; an open source platform for the improvement of public service delivery, transparency and government processes. His interests and background range from geospatial analysis to programming in the public and business sectors.
