Content Management Systems (CMSs) like WordPress, Drupal and Joomla have bridged a huge gap when it comes to content creation and it’s wide spread.

As I’ve seen this growth in Africa through my work and my involvement with CMS Africa, I will speak about my love for open source content management and how in Africa it has created a level playing field between the technologically capable and those who don’t consider themselves geeks.
