Projects
Open source projects built across Africa — data systems, platforms, infrastructure, development tools, and more. Each verified entry is evidence that Africa creates world-class digital infrastructure, not just consumes it.
For policymakers, this is where you find the proof. For developers, this is where you find your peers. For institutions, this is where you find what already exists before building from scratch.
People
The developers, maintainers, advocates, contributors, educators, and community organizers behind African open source. Because open source IS people — the projects don't exist without them.
For institutions looking to hire, this is the talent pool. For policymakers, this is the expertise you should be consulting. For the ecosystem, this is who's doing the work.
GitHub shows code. LinkedIn shows people. ODSI connects both to policy.
Every entry here — every project, every profile — is part of the evidence base that African voices carry to international standards bodies, government procurement decisions, and digital sovereignty discussions.
