Yet, for some strange reason, these people are virtually ghosts on the Internet.
That's not very strange in my opinion. Scott Hanselman spoke of Dark Matter Developers* who are the "Unseen 99%" who don't blog, tweet or attend conferences.
Also, attending conferences in "Africa" (such a big and diverse continent lumped together) is completely unpractical except for some edge cases: many flights will go to Europe and back (there is very little internal demand).
The price of such a flight is obviously also a problem.
