Speakers:

Eugene Masiku (Kaffzz)

I am a tech enthusiast and a lover of open projects. My love for open projects heightened when i joined Open Foundation West Africa as a Communications Officer. Here, I was giving the opportunity to lead and collaborate with my colleagues on projects such as the Africa Wiki Challenge, Kiwix4schools Projects, Wiki Loves Africa Ghana and others. I am super elated to present OFWA’s array of programs at this year’s Wikimania.
