Ghoss is the Ghana Open Source Society. "It aims at promoting the use of open source software in Ghana. It also aims at providing the facilities required to make its members proficient in the use of open source technologies.
We have group meetings twice a week. We mainly work on projects that all members are assigned to. Every so often we invite people to come and give tech talks on different IT topics. Members are also expected to give presentations from time to time. We also have a membership grading system, an idea borrowed from the oriental martial arts, where members get graded up to higher and higher levels as their skills and experience within the community increases.
Anybody who is interested can become a member. To become a member, you will have to come to one of our meetings and register as a member (currently). Our membership is only restricted by resource constraints. We need to make sure that all members are properly mentored during their initial phase. If there are no mentors available, they you would be put in queue in invited as soon as a mentor is available.
GHOSS is sponsored by the Chale Group." Lorenzo Cabrini, Founder
