Project description

The project aims to extend the knowledge of the local partners in a sustainable way. By giving them the power to create their own web applications without being dependant on extrenal partners nor being dependant on proprietary software. In developing countries the sustainable use of ICT in the university have affected the services offered by the central IT department. Monopolistic restrictions on bandwith, the high cost of proprietary software makes it very important that the university IT department can develop their own applications. It is essential to advocate the use of Free Software to build applications. By teaching the use of the Free Software Symfony framework power is given to the university's IT department.
