Dear Listers, Just to quickly let you know that we've finished the redesign of our *events pages* - have a look at http://www.ratio-magazine.com/businessevents/index.php. In addition to just browsing through events, you can also search for countries and industry-specific events, e.g. ICT events. And if you want, you can set yourself an email alert for those. I'm sure there are still some bugs in that whole registration and alert process, so if you stumble across anything, let me know so that we can iron them out quickly. Listing events is free, so if you are organising a seminar, a conference, a training, a trade mission, email me with the details! Same with the *careers pages*: http://www.ratio-magazine.com/careers/index.php If you're looking for a new ICT job, come and browse, or register for the email alerts for ICT jobs. If you're recruiting, send me the job ad - regular listings are free, 'featured jobs' (on the landing page, with logo) are KES10,000 (net) for three weeks. Have a lovely day, Andrea -- Andrea Bohnstedt Publisher +254 720 960 322 www.ratio-magazine.com

digital content creation just a thought...
by Paul Kukubo 03 Oct '10

Listers Kalasha awards from the Kenya Film Commission is an important recognition platform for Kenyan media talent. As the show is going on, it was streamed live online at the request of the Commission CEO. The CEO approached us at the ICT Board to assist with live streaming. Two sister agencies under the Ministry of Information and Communications working together. The Kenya ICT Board approached Homeboyz who then provided the livestream feed over the internet. Opportunity for private sector to leverage this event for marketing is clear. Opportunity for entrepreuners to leverage this and any future event. eg some clever chap may have made a commercial argument to a bank targetting the diaspora, etc.. all entreprenuer stuff really.. What is an opportunity in future is for tech savvy marketing entrepreuners to sell the live stream feed as an advertising opportunity targetting the Diaspora. In order for entrepreuners to do so, they obviously need to be tuned to what brand advertisers need. As I write this I am listening in to feed , reading the Twitter and Facebook updates of these event and getting a sense of being there even if I was not able to. Fantastic stuff. Enabled by technology. Once we do this on a grand scale, we can create even more enterprises around understanding consumer and business needs. Asante..

Hi, How does one get connected to KIXP and what are the charges, we run a website, yes locally hosted, but unfortunately the experience is different depending on the ISP the client is connecting from, at times we have noted traffic being rerouting through the international link because a particular ISPs KIXP pipe is full.

Greek - Kenya Comparison - Applied to Local Tech Scene
by S.Murigi Muraya 30 Sep '10

30 Sep '10

Dear All, Good read here. http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Africa/Africa-Monitor/2010/0929/Greece-s-eco… It is mostly accurate but it does not note, occasionally, where decent technocrats are in place, competent consultancies or tech firms do get government contracts (projects) without having to bribe. Do not know how but such technocrats need to be recognized and rewarded by the Government. Also do not think our government would discriminate against open source solutions with strong corporate backing such as Red Hat. As all wise organizations ask, who is to be held accounatable for updates or fixes of Free or Open Source Software (FOSS) that is only community based? Regards SMM
