The Digital Citizen Indaba (DCI) on Blogging is a 2 day conference that I am co-ordinating in association with Osisa and Niza which will take place in September, 14-15th straight after Highway Africa in Grahamstown. Vincent and I got the site live on Friday and officially launched it today. We are hoping to limit the numbers to around 90 African bloggers, citizen journalists, media practitioners and representatives from civil society, and it will be very much focused around developing skills through practical workshops and discussions with experts from around the globe, including a key note from Ethan Zuckerman. As far as we know it will be the first of its kind on the African continent and I am very excited about playing an active, albeit stressful, role in it.

If you would like to apply for a scholarship or register for the Indaba, do it now! You won’t regret it…
