π¬ The story of Tayebwa Noah and Jessie Ssebuliba from Uganda is a powerful example. Through projects like Eclipse Adoptium, Noah and Jessie found pathways to learn, contribute, and collaborate across continents, including with Hendrik Ebbers, CEO of Open Elements and a member of the Eclipse Foundation Board of Directors.
Their work spans everything from medical records systems used across Africa to open source libraries.
Despite having never met in person when they first began working together, open source brought them into the same community, and ultimately into the same team.
π Their full story, captured in this Global Voices feature, highlights how open source acts as an alternative education pathway and a bridge between countries, cultures, and opportunities:
