Hi all, Sharing this opportunity to participate in MozFest East Africa 2015. ----- The Mozilla Festival East Africa 2015 will be held at Victoria Towers, Plot 1-13, Jinja Road, Kampala, Uganda and we would love to have you join us on the 17th to the 19th July 2015. If you’re not familiar with Mozfest East Africa and want to know what to expect, picture hundreds of passionate people - journalists, coders, filmmakers, designers, educators, gamers from all over the continent - immersed in interactive sessions designed to foster collaboration and participation. Come with a great concept you want to make real, and we'll connect you with a community of fiercely unconventional technologists and creators eager to share their skills and knowledge to spotlight your work and to nurture your ideas. We'll all learn together through hands-on sessions and interactive workshops and we'll have dedicated time to hack the ideas that emerge when hundreds of bright minds gather together in one space. The festival is organized around ‘tracks’ which are clusters of topics and sessions that we believe have the greatest potential for innovation and empowerment with the web. The tracks are as follows: Social Innovation Education Web & mobile tools and technologies Digital culture and the maker movement Policy and advocacy Open data & development Community track You can get involved in two ways: Register for a weekend ticket here: http://mozfestea15.eventbrite.com <http://mozfestea15.eventbrite.com/>.
