We are publishing the Lift France 11 talks from our new video site (mobile version here) developed in partnership with 23 video. We will publish new videos every week, and you can subscribe to automatic updates via our podcast service.


What happens when barriers to use of technology are lowered? What can we learn from the Ushahidi open source community and the technology landscape in Africa about the opportunity and the limits of open innovation? In her speech, Juliana Rotich answers these questions, based on her experience as director of a African non-profit tech company which specializes in developing free and open source software for information collection, interactive mapping and data curation.
