Leonard Adjei

Leonard Adjei is an Open Source Applications advocate and an avid enthusiast of Linux. He's been calling for Software revolution into the Open Source market which seems to be nonexistent and mainly ignored in his country.

In an effort to promote the usage of Open Source(Linux) systems in his area, he formed the Thinkers Group. An association of technology enthusiasts who gather to tackle various problems in their vicinity using Open Source methods

Early Life

Leonard was born and raised in Accra, in a nation where the usage of computing was mostly Windows-centric and the usage of Linux was almost non-existent in commercial environments. As a boy, he learned how to use MS-Dos which he mostly configured for the minor games which were available at a time.

During his fifth grade, he befriended his school librarian who taught him to use Q-Basic, he soon thereafter created his first program, a dialog app based on Elisa. It was later in high school that he learned the existence of Linux.

Linux Projects

After learning about the existence of the Linux world, Leonard soon started experimenting with various distro's and systems. He found a special interest in Fedora and other RPM-Based systems and started configuring systems with them.

In March 2007, he installed a terminal server for him and his friends to collaborate about school work and other discussions. This he managed using Drupal CMS.

Currently he's involved with the Thinkers Group to develop a vast wireless network for the University of Ghana, to allow students communicate amongst them selves.

He's also designing a Streaming platform using Mythdora to bring multimedia content to residents in his area.
