	8	+I am Olawale Adefisayo Fabiyi , An Educator, Techpreneur & Strategist with. I was born and raised in Nigeria and took up a few years in South East Asia, precisely Malaysia and Singapore to study and work.
	9	+
	10	+My practical work experience span across Education, IT and Business. Currently championing the implementation of IT, infrastructure and building worldclass computer science curriculum with curricula from Microsoft, Oracle, Cisco, ISC(2) Academies , as both Head of Technology and Department head of Computer Science & Technology at the American International University, West Africa, The Gambia. Hoping to bridge the divide between academia and industry\\

	12	+About a month ago we launched a TechEd initiative I founded called [[Open-Source Academy>>url:http://www.open-sourceacademy.org||rel="__blank" title="Open-Source Academy"]] which is focused on institutes of higher learning and centered around students, supporting and advocating the use and development of open technologies in universities and institutes of higher learning.
	13	+ I am also currently working on an initiative called [[HackWeakEnd>>url:http://www.hacktheweakend.com/||rel="__blank" title="http://www.hacktheweakend.com/"]] which is a social initiative that uses Hackathons to brings together tech people, industry experts, stakeholders, students and enthusiasts to come up with compelling technological solutions (hardware/software) to solve ills, issues and problems plaguing societies. It is simply an initiative of using technology to “Hack” the “Weak Ends” over a Week End. These “Weak Ends” are ills, problems and issues affecting our societies.
	14	+ Since my moving back to Nigeria six years ago, I have seen the need to bridge the gap between academia and the workforce.
	15	+We all can see and feel the importance of Open Source in every walk of life and the earlier we push for its adoption, the more beneficial to our societies.
	16	+
	17	+If I am elected as an affiliate board member, I will like to push more adoption of open source both in Academia and in Africa. I have seen that advocacy for Open Source in academia in Africa is little to nothing and with me coming on board will be instrumental to achieve this. I will be able to push this as I am also an academician and hoping TechEd in Africa will grow with adoption of open source technologies and Africa as a whole.
