I am Kpetermeni T. Siakor, a Liberian who is passionate about enabling technologies and how they are used to help people help themselves. I know technology has an incredible opportunity to advance Liberia. For the past few years, I have worked on numerous tech projects in Liberia including disaster relief tracking with Ushahidi, the Ministry of Finance and my side project of sharing IT education through open courseware. Given University of Liberia does not offer any computer science courses and I don't have the funds to study abroad, I started to look for other ways to learn. After discovering open courseware online, I was so surprised this information was free but with only satellite internet, its expensive and slow. I started downloading these videos and handing them out, showing them as a class, sharing them with professors and generally spreading the word about technology. My goal is to get a Computer Science degree so I can return to Liberia to setup a not-for-profit technology company that focuses on providing enabling technologies and access to world-class training to Liberians. The enabling technologies comprise of, but not limited to telecommunication, Internet, virtualization, and open source software. The training component shall focus on the providing accessibility and promoting the use of high quality open courseware.
