Dear Colleagues Please forgive me for the delay in thanking you for your assistance with my dissertation. I have intended to hold a thank you party for my graduation from Harvard, June 2009. I have arranged a small festivity for us to celebrate the completion of my dissertation, the birth of my third child, and the passage of the referendum (which will hopefully give me Kenyan citizenship!). If you are in town, please attend my Thank You Choma for you at Zinc, Prestige Plaza, on Ngong Road, Nairobi. This Friday, August 6, 6:00 p.m. *Please RSVP (i.e. confirm attendance) to let me know if you think you are coming, so I can get an accurate head count. This is very important. * I will provide two goats worth of mbuzi choma with all the accompaniments including irio, kachumbari and ugali. Drinks will be available at the bar for a cash price. In other words, I provide food (within reason), but you will buy your own drinks.

electronic results Referendum system..
by Walubengo J 06 Aug '10

06 Aug '10

folks, i dont know about you but am totally blown away by the affordability and simplicity of the electronic results system currently in use at Bomas. I mean, think about it, a mobile phone of less than 30USD and an SMS message of less than 1USD and some piece software and you get results securely checked into a central server, tallied and and instantly relayed to the public. This to me is eGovernance without the usual big budgets and subsequent failure that often accompanies ICT projects...more importantly I want to believe, this is the beginning of how elections will be conducted in future. walu.

Fwd: Beware of scam: summer school on Internet governance Africa
by Brian Munyao Longwe 05 Aug '10

05 Aug '10

FYI ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Dawit Bekele <bekele(a)isoc.org> Date: Thu, Aug 5, 2010 at 9:21 AM Hi all, I would like to warn you about a very probable scam at http://www.africanssig.org/first.htm. The site copies the summer school on Internet governance in Latin America and Europe that are real. It falsely claims that it is endorsed by organizations like Internet Society and Google (amongst many others), which it isn’t. We have contacted many of the people sited on the front page and in the program and none of them are aware of this program. The Internet Society will follow up this matter, but in the mean time I would like to make sure that no one in the community falls into this trap. Please let me know if you have any information concerning this, -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawit Bekele, Regional Bureau Manager - Africa <bekele(a)isoc.org> Tel: +251 911 22 13 33/+41 22 809 0363 http://www.isoc.org Internet Society (ISOC) "The Internet is for everyone" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Brian Munyao Longwe e-mail: blongwe(a)gmail.com cell: + 254 722 518 744 blog : http://zinjlog.blogspot.com meta-blog: http://mashilingi.blogspot.com
