Hackers for Charity
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Background
Along with coordinating the donation of goods and supplies, Johnny Long lived in Uganda with his family for seven years, and helped set up computer networks and build village infrastructures. He also started a computer training center to provide free and low-cost technical training, a hackerspace, a restaurant, and a leather working program, all based in Jinja Uganda. Each of these projects are still running (as of May 2019). These projects were funded by donations from the hacker community through fundraising efforts at various conferences.[3][4]
In 2010, in Dissecting the Hack: The F0rb1dd3n Network, an extensive interview of Johnny Long was published with Hackers for Charity discussed extensively.[5]
