On February 15, 2003, the monthly I-Network seminar series was hosted at the Uganda Martyrs University (UMU). The seminar was one of the activities jointly organised by UMU and the I-Network for a day dedicated to Open Source Software (OSS). The general public, university students and people from government and industry were invited to participate in information sessions and demonstrations of OSS.
