Umoja's Vision: To help bring together the vast information and ideas of the African Diaspora.

Opensource

Umoja.Net is built on the shoulders of giants of free open source software. We've highlighted some open source projects and protocols we use:

Erlang

Erlang is a functional programming language designed at the Ericsson Computer Science Lab (mainly by Joe Armstrong). It's named after Danish mathematician and engineer Agner Krarup Erlang.

Riak

Riak is a Dynamo-inspired key/value store with rapid development tools, designed by Basho. (The Guys at Basho are great!) I have no idea why Riak is called Riak :/

Protocols

PUbSubHubbub

PubSubHubbub (PuSH) is a great open protocol that is a web-based publisher / subscriber model that works extremely well for notifications like Atom and RSS.
