I work for Canonical Ltd. within the scope of Edubuntu operations.

My prime responsibility is towards the NEPAD e-Schools programme where I act as a technical and relationship liaison for the HP led ISPAD consortium. Beyond this my interests lie in African open source developments, specifically around education.

My Edubuntu interests are on documentation, marketing, advocacy and real-world data gathering on Edubuntu's use, effectiveness and requirements.
