Congratulations from Cape Town!
Happy 25th anniversary APC! And well done for persevering! Am very happy to have been part of a community that 25 years later continues to advance an ICTs for social justice and transformation agenda - and which continues to inspire others (the latest evidence being the accolades received by Anriette and Valeria). Long live APC!

In 1985, nobody had heard of email, so after putting up the first version of GreenNet I would travel around with a Osborne “laptop” and demonstrate to activist groups around the UK.
Finding like minds online during the early days, as APC was forming, was a source of both inspiration and motivation. Those pioneering days were the result of a small hand-full of people, some who have remained within APC and others who remain close, as friends, but have moved on.

“In 1999 at Beijing+5 I had just learnt how to build a website using HTML (the old way of doing it) and was one of the trainers at a workshop called Flamme. I felt so scared and inadequate but all the women trainers helped each other, shared skills, asked if they did not know… it was so supportive even though we had been thrown in the deep end. So few women knew much about technology then but each one who did know something became a teacher and so we built our skills and our confidence this way.” –Jennifer Radloff

I remember the passionate discussions before signing the original APC agreement in 1990 – over such phrases as borderless worlds, the nature of democracy. Those words did not come together easily and those where we could not agree initially showed the passion which drove the launch of APC.

What motivated me to spend the last ten years in spreading access to the (APC) network is that I’ve always felt that there was not much point in having the content there if a lot of people can’t use it. We are slowly getting there. The Internet is beginning to pervade, and capital cities of Africa now at least have some degree of access, but that’s not good enough yet. We still have to bring it further out so that people in rural areas have access.
Mike Jensen (1997)
By 1987, those who would go on to found the APC in 1990 knew they were creating a global network. Their focus was on connectivity and APC members or “nodes” – at a time when the “internet” was arguably a disconnected set of separate government and commercial networks.
