TA19 – African Hackerscene
Today’s show is about the African Hacker and IT-Scene. It contains two talks, one with Erik Hersmann from the iHub in Nairobi, Kenia and the second one with Valery Colonge from the Active Space in Cameroon. They both are engaged in very interesting projects and Hackerspaces.
