  • Abstract
    Kaleidoscope 2011 took place in Cape Town, South Africa, from December 12-14, 2011. This fourth event in the series focused on the central role of users of information and communication technologies (ICT). Accordingly, one of the aspects discussed was the adaptation of ICT to the African context (e.g., to monitor solar and climatic variations and to help microenterprises). Parallel with the conference, an exhibit of local universities organized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Secretariat offered a glimpse into ICT activities in South Africa.
