IDLELO3, Dakar, March 18-20, Wikipedia in West African languages
Today I received that my abstract that I submitted to the IDLELO3 conference that will be held in Dakar from the 18th till the 20th of March was accepted. Here it is:
Wikipedia in West African languages Wikipedia is a project for the creation of free encyclopedias in many languages.
De l'espoir pour l'Afrique
Comme j'avait écrit, j'ai rencontré Ibou hier. Je savais pas quoi expecter, mais c'était inspirant, dès les premiers instants. Ibou est un jeune sénégalais, qui fait ses études d'électrotechnique en Italie. Il parle le wolof mieux que tout autre langue, mais jusqu'il y a 6 mois il savait pas l'écrire. Sur l'internet il avait trouvé plus d'information sur sa langue maternelle, qui est parlée par 90% de la population du Sénégal - contrairement au français, parlé par environ 10%.
I'll be off to meet Ibou
Thanks to Callum I have a blog again that I want to use. Now I don't have any excuses any more not to blog every week. Ah well, that is unlikely to happen. Today I'm glad to read that some people enjoy their own dogfood. But I'm even happier that I'm vegetarian. There are also some events that I will not publicly disclose yet. Oh la la, all this secrecy. Maybe I could also be a Leader, one day.
But not today.
