The Africa Android Challenge is a challenge which is aimed at getting the best Android developer from the African continent.
In my country Uganda we celebrated this challenge like the rest of Africa by doing Barcamps for Developer to get a winner.
There was a mini Barcamp in Mbale at Maisha Africa Hotel.
We had a Demo of all the apps from the eastern part of Uganda which was successful.
Alcatel who are one the sponsors of this challenge provided test devices to both GDG Busitema and GDG Mbale. This was a big step to building test centers for the GDGs in Africa. This event took on the 27th April 2013.
On the 10th of May there was a main event for Uganda at Outbox Hub in Kampala which was aimed at getting a winner from Uganda and BodaPay emerged winner. We had some talks from the various developer about what was cool about their apps.
We also had a best practices talk on Android development. The winner walked away with an Evo7 HD Tablet From Alcatel and the 2nd walked away with an Alcatel phone.
Am personally truly grateful to Google, Alcatel OneTouch and other sponsors for sponsoring the Africa Android Challenge. It was really a great experience for me.
To the Organizing team lead by +Max Bonbhel it has been an honour working with you, I believe we are going to get the best app from Africa.
Till the #aac next year,
Nicholas Kamanzi
