We hosted a tech meetup to discuss technology use for the 2011 elections in Nigeria.

We had a morning brainstorming session, working lunch, afternoon strategy session and we have now moved discussions online with possible meetups down the road. To join the online discussions, sign up via http://www.pinigeria.org/mailman/listinfo/nigeriadecides_pinigeria.org
