Calling for mobile app developers
by Hital Muraj (hmuraj) 25 Jul '13

25 Jul '13

Hello All, The Innovation and International Development program at Tel Aviv University, called IsraelDev Network <http://www.israeldev.org> is a grassroots movement that seeks to transform Israel into an epicentre of technological and social innovation for the developing world. They are currently organising the Dev4Dev Hackathon<http://www.dev4devhackathon.com/>, an 2-day event aimed at developing applications for the developing world. This event will take place in November and will bring together programmers, international development and business professionals from across the industry to build prototype solutions that address the health, agriculture, water and sanitation, transportation and education challenges predominant in the developing world. The goal is to increase exposure to the role that the Israeli tech community can play in providing innovative and non-traditional solutions in these markets. Is anyone interested in participating? They are looking for help in identifying mobile or web applications that the developers could work on during the Hakathon to solve social challenges in the world. They would welcome participants to join (at their own cost, IsraelDev doesn't have budget for travel) or virtually on Sykpe etc. Call for Technological Needs-Statements On the 7-8 November 2013 we will be hosting the Dev4Dev Hackathon<http://www.dev4devhackathon.com/> in Tel Aviv, Israel, an event that will focus on Developing Apps for the Developing World. The aim of Dev4Dev is to connect Israel's leading entrepreneurial and technological community with the needs of the developing world. We hope to harness the talent of the next generation of programmers and developers for addressing the most pressing needs of the developing world by raising awareness and forming partnerships with local stakeholders in these countries. It is in this vein that we are reaching out to your organisation, with a request for technological needs-statements that you believe could be addressed by applications developed at the Hackathon. We invite your organisation to e-mail hackathon(a)israeldev.org<mailto:[email protected]> with identified technological needs. Each need-statements will be evaluated and accepted on a rolling-basis so please submit statements as early as possible. Should your request be approved by our advisory team we would be happy to work with you to refine the proposal in the run up to the Hackathon. Format for Needs-Statements: * The Need: What problem are you trying to solve? * Potential technological solution * Any technical, sociological or contextual considerations * About your organisation/the body who would implement the solution The application need not be longer than 1-page and can be e-mailed or submitted online<http://www.dev4devhackathon.com/#!tech/cngp>. Feel free to take a look at the RHOK Website for examples of the type of challenges we are looking to work on.

Re: [kictanet] Vision 2030

This is a nice summary report, however, I would prefer a detailed dashboard view of the progress - sort of like you would do within a project management app! It is more meaningful to a consumer such as myself instead of a simplified statements as ● The Konza Technology City master plan has been developed and approved. ● The Technocity is planned on a 5,000 acre land and fencing is complete. ● The Ground breaking ceremony for the Konza Technology City was presided on by His Excellency the President Hon. Mwai Kibaki on the 23nd January 2013. ● Nine boreholes have been earmarked for drilling out of which four boreholes drilled and supplying water to the city. ● A multipurpose dam has been designed for supply of water to the city and the neighboring communities. ● A 10 km buffer zone has been created around the city. ● The legal notice on the establishment of the Konza Technolopolis Development Authority (KOTDA) has already been gazetted and the board appointed. I would like to view all the projects that were/have been earmarked for the ITES/BPO sector as an example, what were the milestones, implementation delays, challenges (like you have on page 23/24 of the report); budgets assigned; funds utilization, assigned contractors, etc. The above summary is for media and general public consumption - hence why we need a more robust repository to monitor the detailed progress of V2030 implementation; or if it already exists, access to it (this is still constitutional, right?).

For the simple reason, you have to wait for Ministries to report on the progress of their projects which probably takes place at the end of the financial year. If you want such a report now, you would have to check with the ministries individually. As you well know, Monitoring and Evaluation is done on a periodic basis, mid-term, end-term etc. But take it up with MED, Monitoring and Evaluation Division at Herufi House.

You cannot get a one page status implementation document for the simple reason, this is a policy document broadly spelling out the priority areas. It is further divided into five-year plans. We have already done the first 5-year medium term plan and we are on the second. There was a publication after the first five-year plan. In turn, the National Treasury, does what it calls Medium Term Expenditure Framework which is largely based on the Five-year plan. Within the general policy thrust however, are some flagship projects: Isiolo Resort Town, Konza ICT city, Ol Karia V, Lapsset Project, Railway mini-cities, irigation projects etc etc. Within Ministries, there are supposed to be Planning officers working with the Planning Ministry to maintain National Monitoring Indicators showing progress made in meeting goals. www.monitoring.go.ke Otherwise, the best thing is to familiarize yourself with the blueprint and you could write that one page summary yourself.

Re: [kictanet] [Skunkworks] Website hacking on the rise

I also note the same Pauline. The first website I read that was compromised was Kenya Power followed by Central Bank. I was quite alarmed that Apple & Ubuntu were also affected! * Please find attached an interesting whitepaper on website security I came across on Spiceworks that I thought I would share with this forum. * On 24 July 2013 15:10, Pauline Kitheka <kithekapauline(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Is it me or is the rate of websites being hacked on the rise. > > -- > Kenyan Techie: www.kentechie.com > > _______________________________________________ > skunkworks mailing list > skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke > ------------ > List info, subscribe/unsubscribe > http://orion.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks > ------------ > > Skunkworks Rules > http://my.co.ke/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=94 > ------------ > Other services @ http://my.co.ke >
