I'll be working on a template over Dec and part of Jan on how an Open Cyber Café should operate and look like. By open meaning it supports/runs open tech/knowledge software and provides information to customers around the same.
Even with picking up of Internet access over mobile phones, Cyber Café's are still huge in Kenya (and Africa) with their core business being charging for Internet access. Sorry, no references, just my eyes (0_0)
I plan to use the template later on to run an Open Cyber Café challenge. The winning Cyber will of-course get featured and gain more popularity both locally and Internationally; you never know, it might be an alternative
hacker space. Some goodies / prizes should also come in handy.
Currently, I'm getting in-touch with a couple of open-source enthusiasts mostly for swag (posters, brochures etc) to distribute among participating Cafés
I'm looking forward to have Wikimedia on the template so suggestions/comments are welcomed.
