While not strictly computer security awareness I couldn’t go past mentioning these excellent Bicycle Africa projects. Unsure of the licensing on some of these like the Bamboo bicycle lets hope its creative commons or open source.
A number of excellent projects are worth a look at in Africa. These projects aim to provide low cost bicycles for transport of people and cargo.

The excellent TrueCrypt open source encryption utility has just been released in a version 5.0. The new version allows amoung other things full disk encryption. So that you must enter a secure password on boot of the system to access the fully encrypted partition. This adds an excellent layer of security to all systems but particularily laptops. When governments and corporations seem to lose so many laptops that contain lots of personal and confidential information – it seems like this would be the ideal solution.
