Hii everyone, I’m Victoria Ofuasia, Igbo Community Facilitator at Common Voice.
I’m happy to share that through the Community Facilitator program, I represented Common Voice as a Silicon Sponsor at the 2-day GDG DevFest Enugu, which was held in Enugu (the heart of the Igbo-speaking region in Nigeria) on the 5th and 6th of December 2025.
So the good news of Common Voice was spread throughout this event!
On Day 1, I spoke extensively on the topic “Let’s Make Open Source Local” using Common Voice as a case study of the localisation of open source movements in communities.
On Day 2, I got to talk very briefly to the main audience about the essence of Common Voice and encouraged them to check out the Common Voice booth at the event. We had a booth where attendees tried contributing their voices and learned more about how to get involved with contributing through recordings and validations in Igbo on Common Voice. I had help from a volunteer, and we shared merch and stickers with people who came by. Some people posted about contributing, and others joined our Discord community to keep in touch.
You can find Common Voice as a sponsor and see the spotlight of what I spoke about on the Devfest Enugu website here: https://devfestenugu.com/.
Thank you all for your support. I will be updating this thread with more pictures and highlights!!
