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 SuSE, Fedora and other RPM-Based systems and started configuring systems with them.

Plans

After tinkering with various linux distributions he developed a preference for RPM-Based sdistro's and deployed most of his servers using these OS's.

Leonard is planning to host a local SuSE repository innhis district to help make the uptake and adoption of its practical use quicker for students.

He also formed the ThinkCenter, a one-stop location for Linux technical assistance and installation as well as configuration.

He also has plans to be a SuSE representative in supplying information, content and materials in his country. Currently he's has a small computer lab in his area where he gives free information regarding the use of Linux System and offers free Fedora Installations for small businesses.
