The sessions were insightful, speakers were great, topics were diverse, and the networking opportunities were fantastic. I had the pleasure of connecting with numerous like-minded professionals. The atmosphere was vibrant, and the positive energy and learning environment was great throughout the symposium.

Thank you once again for your invitations and the space created to share our work with the energy community.

A week has passed, and I am still processing all the information from the various sessions, comments, posters, and innovative ideas shared by bright young minds during the hackathons. We could have benefited from three 3-day symposia followed by a site visit. Congratulations to everyone involved; OSEAS 2025 was exceptionally well organized. Cheers to OSEAS 2026!

After attending OSEAS 2025 and engaging with open source tools and technologies, I was deeply inspired by the possibilities they present in transforming energy access. Witnessing your leadership and contributions to open source applications in Kenya was truly motivating. I am eager to get involved in this journey and be part of advancing open source solutions in rural electrification efforts.

OSEAS2025 was amazing! The energy, innovation, and shared purpose you have described are truly inspiring, proof that open-source collaboration is not just a tool but a movement for equitable energy access.

The work showcased, from Makueni County’s solarized solutions to the lightning-speed innovations of the hackathon, strengthens my belief that together, we can bridge the gap between policy, technology, and community impact. As someone deeply invested in energy modeling, project implementation, and manpower development, I am thrilled by the symposium’s outcomes and eager to contribute to this growing community.

Count me in as a committed ally for the next edition and beyond. I would love to explore how my expertise in data-driven policy design and scalable project management can support OSEAS’s mission. Let us keep the momentum going, because when we combine open tools with open collaboration, change is not just possible; it is inevitable.

Thank you for providing guidance, inspiration, or leadership.
