There are many ICT professionals who want to serve the EOTC in their profession. There have been individual efforts in different areas for assisting the EOTC services: debelo.org, eathebook.org etc. . . are a few of the many high impact projects that have been developed by and are maintained by individuals. Bringing individual efforts together has the potential to provide developers new opportunities to collaborate, learn from each other and eventually create more sustainable, high-impact resources. These will be invaluable assets for the EOTC as a whole.
