SA Blogger going to Google SoC
April 12, 2007
South African technologist and blogger Charl van Niekerk just posted that his Joomla-related entry to Google Summer of Code has been accepted. Here you can see the project he will be working on. Having South Africans working at the bleeding edge of innovation backed by resources as large as Google’s is fantastic. I am interested to explore how many other Africans are involved.
If you know of others let me know.

Thanks for the post, Lisa! I hear rumors about somebody from Nigeria also being involved but haven’t heard much about it yet. I can count myself very lucky to have received so much support over here in South Africa. I would certainly like to try and do my best in order to motivate more Africans to take part next year.
Were there any Africans involved in the previous two years? Would be interesting to know that as well!
Keep well – Cheers!
