On November 2, 2024, the African Diaspora Voters Education Board (ADVEB) hosted the First National STEM Department Conference, marking an essential milestone in the preparation of the National Registry—a platform central to the formation of the African Diaspora Government. We are pleased to report that the event was a success, with participation from developers and technical experts who are dedicated to advancing this historic initiative.
Conference Highlights
The conference attracted a significant number of registered participants and several qualified developers who joined the virtual call. During the session, attendees were provided with an overview of the system architecture, built using Flutter and powered by Google Firebase, and discussed key areas requiring refinement to ensure a smooth launch.
Collaborative Work Underway
To maintain momentum, an email thread was created during the call to keep all participating developers informed and engaged. Additionally, a dedicated group chat will be established to facilitate collaboration and provide access to the project’s GitHub repository. This platform will serve as a space for developers to review, troubleshoot, and enhance the system’s code together.
Invitation for Latecomers
We remain open to welcoming more developers who wish to contribute to this groundbreaking project. Latecomers who join will have the opportunity to participate in the email thread and group chat, where they can provide valuable input and collaborate with the existing team. Your expertise can play a crucial role in ensuring the system is ready for its upcoming launch.
Next Steps: Beta Testing Conference
Once the current development work is completed and the code is optimized, a second conference will be scheduled to conduct beta testing. This step is vital to ensuring that the platform operates smoothly and securely for users, setting the stage for a successful rollout.
