| FOSS use is also on the increase in many OIC countries in Africa. Nigeria
| and Uganda, for example, have active FOSS user groups and various
| projects promoting FOSS use. A Nigerian company, Leapsoft, has
| released Wazobia Linux, a distribution localized in Nigeria's three
| main languages, while Uganda has a Linux localization project and hosts
| the East African Center for Open Source Software (EACOSS), the first
| specialized FOSS training center in the region.
|
| Networking is another important strategy in promoting FOSS in OIC
| countries. The numerous FOSS users in OIC countries should share
| experiences and knowledge about FOSS in particular and IT in general.
| The Malaysian government's experience of migrating to Linux, and the
| FarsiKDE experience, are good examples of what can be shared between
| OIC countries.
