ODSI Launch Showcase : Digital Sovereignty in Africa
2026-07-30 11:00 - 13:00 | Global, Online
July 30, 2026
Virtual event (global)

Linux Professional Institute (LPI) is proud to support the ODSI Launch Showcase, the inaugural event of the Open Digital Sovereignty Initiative (ODSI).
ODSI exists to make Africa’s open source ecosystem visible, to itself and to the world, and to put African voices in the room where digital policy is shaped. The Launch Showcase brings together builders, maintainers, and advocates from across the continent and the global community to mark that beginning.
LPI at the ODSI Launch Showcase
LPI will be represented by Sonia Ben Othman, who joins the event as a speaker. Her participation reflects LPI’s ongoing commitment to supporting open source communities, education, and certification pathways across Africa.
Why Africa Matters for Open Source
Africa is home to one of the fastest-growing developer communities in the world, with a young population increasingly building on and contributing to open source technologies. Open source offers African institutions, governments, and businesses a path toward digital sovereignty: technology that can be studied, adapted, and maintained locally, without dependence on any single vendor.
LPI supports this ecosystem through certification programs, community initiatives such as Linux Clubs, partnerships with local training organizations, and participation in events across the continent. Building visibility for African open source talent, and connecting it with global opportunities, sits at the core of LPI’s mission to support the people who work with open source.
Who Should Attend
The half-day virtual showcase welcomes IT professionals, educators, students, business leaders, government officials, and open source enthusiasts from Africa and around the world. Attendance is free and open to the global community.
Join the conversation and be part of the beginning of ODSI!
