At Last The Open Source Guys In University Of Jos Are Emerging With A Technology by dasersoft: 6:09pm On Nov 02, 2007
The 2007 september 15 software freedom day witness a hit in the university of jos that one may wonder a gigantic project that mere guys from this institution can come up with. they called this "UJNUX" a linux campus distribution for their institution. This witness the advent of three people (students) who are the future Richard Stallman, Linus torvalds and Eric Raymond of africa.
This guys who said they have been hacking the linux kernel for long said they have a hope of bringing the silicon valley of africa to Nigeria. These guys are open source phylosopher who are doing fine in various fields on discipline. you can see this on:

Well we are moving forward in Nigeria gradually.
bet me. Jos will launch the silicon valley of this country.sure bet. all sort of programmers are housed in this town.
any question should be forwarded and comments. bye. well the UJNUX is still in progress yet to be finished but has been lunched. Do we have nigerians that can help with there c codes on this project. lets know in order to create a mirror for this project.

It's good that programmers here are coming together on projects.
But I think it would be good if they will give a list of the projects they
are working on for potential contributors to see how they can lend
a hand.
