		4	I am from Nigeria, and I live in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. I have been in open source for more than half my life as a high
		5	school student. Through the One Laptop Per Child initiative, I understood and got drawn into the ecosystem and started my
		6	journey. I made my way up from joining open source outreach programs to joining Sugar Labs as a core member.

		8
		9	Growing up, I knew something was missing because of the less effort to educate open source within my community. To grow
		10	that, I made it a mission to support, educate and collaborate with people around me to define open source with complete
		11	diversity in just any skillsets and Africa.
		12
		13
		14	I have been advocating for open source for around 8-9 years now, co-founder of Open Source Community Africa, created events
		15	to help me reach more people.
		16
		17
		18	I can do these things without being on the Board for OSI, but I have the opportunity to bring more people around the
		19	culture, as I recently did with many efforts from Africa, like the Open Source Festival.

		21
		22	About two years ago, I worked with OSI to make Open Source Community Africa an affiliate member, automatically bringing
		23	more education to the continent that is currently growing rapidly.
		24
		25
		26	I believe in openness, education, collaboration, and real diversity; this is something that I will bring to the Board.
