[governance] Welcoming new members - Please introduce yourself!

Fri Oct 28 13:38:36 EDT 2016

Thank you so much Arsene for adding me to the group.

Hello members,

My name is Evelyn Namara from Kampala Uganda. I'm co-founder and CTO of a
tech start-up called !nnovate Uganda. Our work involves developing
"software-as-a-service" solutions for mostly development organizations to
help them carry out their work with ease. Most of the beneficiaries of our
solutions are small holder farmers in rural areas.

Besides that, I am also deeply involved in the women in tech as well as
innovation space in Uganda.

In the Internet Governance space I'm mostly interested in policy
discussions relating to connectivity and content aspects, especially
connecting the unconnected and building the relevant content for the
unconnected. I'm also greatly passionate about youth and women
participation in IG spaces as a means of adding diversity to conversations
and issues that are normally overlooked.

That will be it for now.

I look forward to learning from you all.

Kind Regards,
