Strengthening open source in Nigeria
Firstly, this discussion is inspired by a discussion I had with Abayomi Ayoola (murpheus) about LinuxFest event we intend to organize in Nigeria.
The discussion goes like this:
[9/9/2010 2:07:45 PM] Abayomi Ayoola: I sent an email to Linux Foundation
[9/9/2010 2:08:12 PM] Abayomi Ayoola: and they would be glad to sponsor LinuxCon or LinuxFest in Nigeria
[9/9/2010 2:08:25 PM] Kayode Odeyemi: cool
[9/9/2010 2:08:45 PM] Kayode Odeyemi: so what's your plan
[9/9/2010 2:31:56 PM] Abayomi Ayoola: I think they usually cover the whole event

The first is the FLOSS Guide (2Mb) (cc) FLOSSMETRICS - which is an education paper on FLOSS. Which could give people ideas on how to market FLOSS in general. It even includes a section of FLOSS business models.
