Hi Everyone!

My name is Ohnenana Bosnu Kyeretwie. I'm from The Firstbyte Project, currenntly a Ghana-based NGO registered with the Registered General’s Department and incorporated as an independent non-profit making think-tank under the Ghana Companies Code of 1963, Act 1799.

I'll be using this blog to update you on developments within and around FIRSTBYTE  as well as to share my thoughts with you on some vital issues relating to social networking in the digital age.

We are beginning to see a trickle of press releases, photos and outcomes from the IDLELO 3 conference taking place this week in Dakar (program in ODT format).
