Open Source in Ghana

Last week OEN reported on an open access conference in Ghana. Recently Akokoraaba Adansi Pipim published a lengthy letter to Ghana’s president outlining benefits to embracing open source software for education. From the letter:

The current brief seeks to bring home a few take-aways from the lessons of the past few decades, based on summation and extrapolation of observations extending at least a century and a half into the past. Two significant forces are explored: IT policy, especially with regard to adoption of free and open source software, and learner-focused education.
