Conference: Facebook Developers Garage Kampala Kicks Off Dec. 13

Will you look at this. I was at dinner this week here in Kampala and ran into Jon of App+Africa fame. Turns out there’s a conference tomorrow. You know, the one we told you about a couple of weeks ago? Facebook Developers Garage Kampala at Makerere University. It’s this Saturday, December 13th. I’ll be attending, right after my first official meet-up with the Women of Kireka (full story next week). Facebook is even sending some heavy-hitters from their labs to the Confab, so there’ll be plenty of Q&A sessions on how to develop rich applications to run on the Facebook platform.

Seeing how PD is doing a majority our fund-raising for Women of Kireka through Facebook, this conference couldn’t have been better timed! We could use a richer app to assist our campaign efforts.

So, if you are in the area or arriving in the general vacinity that is Kampala on Saturday December 13th, this last minute update is perfect for you, not so perfect if you are not able to attend. Do not fear, I’ll try to post regularly during the Conference if there’s adequate wifi.

If you are able to drop in, do hit up the link below to register so they know you are coming.
