MobileMonday has announced the opening of chapters in Kampala, Uganda and Nairobi, Kenya. The Kampala chapter opens its doors on March 8, and the Nairobi chapter launches on March 11. A new South African chapter will also open in Capetown. After over a year of background work, the global organization formed a partnership with the World Bank to take the commmunity's concepts to several African countries.

"We visited selected African markets a few weeks ago with absolutely no idea how the open community values would be received, and were pleasantly greeted with much enthusiam by the business, governmental, and academic communities, and by the media as well," said Jari Tammisto, MobileMonday's CEO.

Well, WE certainly can't wait! Everybody, make your way to Kampala come March 8 - and the traffic won't be bad since it's a public holiday!
