Nigerian developer https://samsongoddy.com/#about is a community-oriented advocate for open source, who “believes in changing the world in his way,” according to https://samsongoddy.com/#about. So in 2018, Goddy co-founded Open Source Community Africa, which he describes on his webpage as a project to “reflect my love for open source while building large projects that help the budding open source community in Africa.” Through chapter meetups and an annual festival, the group has been encouraging open source software contributions from Africa for five years.

So how could Goddy make it easy for companies and individuals to financially support Open Source Community Africa — even across this tapestry of different countries?

And with that expansion, Goddy hopes, open source developers across the continent will speak with a louder and more unified voice.
