She says:

It is a great joy and privilege to come in contact with such a group ,while studying in Germany some years ago at the TU Berlin,reading technische informatik (Computer Engineer),it was my dream to get my home community of computer scientist benefit from the priviledges of using the Linux Operating System.Now that i have come in contact with the Linux User Group in Bamenda, a yound dynamic and aspiring team ,i am looking forward to working with them so as to develop software packages as well as sensitize others on the benefits of using Linux.I thank God for his overeign leading and timing.

I wish that working together with this Linux user group will not only be beneficiary here in Bamenda and Cameroon but also in other African countries as well.
