Career Workshop for High School Girls
by Dorcas Muthoni 02 Sep '05

02 Sep '05

On September 10, 2005 starting 9.30 a.m, members of LinuxChix Africa (www.africalinuxchix.org) who live in Kenya will to hold a Career Workshop for High School girls to encourage them to pursue careers in Computing. We believe that computing as a whole and Free and Open Source Software(FOSS) in particular, can play a significant role in empowering women. The copyleft nature of FOSS helps programmers to learn from programs or modify them so that they build on the innovations of others rather than re-invent the wheel: Great achievements can only be made by standing on the shoulders of giants. However, IT innovations and the opportunities are ineffectual if people are un-aware of them. The lack of awareness goes a long way in explaining the notable dearth of women in the IT industry in Kenya. A situation, that exists inspite of the fact that they achieve as well as the boys in pre-university examinations. Due to lack of access to information about the opportunities in the ICT field, girls who do well in their O-Levels often opt for other disciplines. The purpose of this workshop is to provide them with information on computing and also answer their questions regarding computing as a career. The team is composed of former and current Computer Science students and other players in the computing industry. Keynote speakers will comprise luminaries from various IT displines. We shall have women system administrators, system analysts, developers, academics, entreprenuers, CTOs and other computer scientists. The focus on women keynote speakers is a deliberate move that aimed at demonstrating success in the IT industry is not impeded by one's gender. It is hoped that the speakers will inspire and serve as role models to the girls. We expect up to 450 students to attend. The event will be held at the Catholic University of Eastern Africa, Jubilee Hall Auditorium in collaboration with their Computer Science Department. Although this event is in commemoration of the Software Freedom Day, the team intends to build on the gains of the day by setting up Linuxchix Africa affliated clubs in the schools in order spread the spirit of opensisterhood in computing. In the afternoon starting *2.00 p.m*, we shall have discussion tables where industry players can freely interact with the students in order to share their experiences and inspirations. All are welcome. We shall distribute CDs and leaflets to the girls which they will be able to carry and share with others. This event will happen with support from Catholic University of Eastern Africa, KENIC, KICTANET and CATIA. We applaud them for their kindness. Thanks and regards, Dorcas Muthoni Team Leader Cofounder LinuxChix Africa

How will these documents be negotiated? > >a. In writing prior to PrepCom: > > >- Contributions can be sent to the Secretariat according to >various timelines. > >- all deadlines for submission of written material in >relation to Internet Governance and Financing are now closed > >- written contributions in relation to the Political Chapeau >and Chapters 1 and 4 of the 'Operational Part' may still be submitted >via government delegations, or, possibly, direct to the President of >Prepcom as Chair of the Group of the Friends of the Chair (this would >need to be checked but please see below on the meetings of the GFC) > > >b.

Civil Society Content and Themes Group > > >The Civil Society Content and Themes group is the body that identifies >speakers and slots for sub-committee (and plenary).

About the Civil Society Internet Governance Caucus > > >The caucus was formed during WSIS PrepCom2, February 2003 to provide >civil society with expert opinion on issues around Internet >governance, and to present civil society's views on Internet >governance in WSIS. It is a means by which any interested organization >or individual from civil society is able to contribute and >participate. It provides a regular communication channel with other >civil society caucuses and working groups and with the Civil Society >Plenary. The Internet Governance Caucus is one of 29 such working >groups established during the preparatory process of WSIS to provide >civil society as a whole with expert advice on specific thematic >issues. > > > >The caucus works mainly online. It uses a mailing list with over 250 >members, many from CS organizations accredited to WSIS.

Dear Colleagues, Sometime back I had indicated that we are undertaking a Sources of Growth Study in liaison with the World Bank and IFPRI. I indicated that I would be sharing with you the draft survey instrument for your comment and input. The draft survey instrument is ready and is attached to this e-mail. We would like to hear from you on the following points: 1. Does the instrument capture the totality of the ICT Sector in Kenya 2.

Africa's a Mobile Phone Oasis, But You Can't Live on Water Alone
by innovativelawyer＠wananchi.com 26 Aug '05

26 Aug '05

NYTimes.com has a cover story today about the rapid deployment of mobile phones in Africa. Africa's a Mobile Phone Oasis, But You Can't Live on Water Alone ...The Africa-as-mobile-phone-oasis story is hardly new, but it's important nonetheless. African countries generally have some of the lowest Internet penetration rates in the world, so mobile phone growth raises the likelihood that more and more mobile providers will begin providing data access. It's the classic leapfrog story: why try to dig up the entire continent to deploy Internet cables when you can get access through the airwaves? However, it's also worth noting that we shouldn't see mobile phones as a silver bullet for wiping out Africa's digital divide. Internet access via mobile phones is wonderful - I go crazy when my phone gets out of data service range - but it's not a replacement for affordable computers with cheap Internet access, as was argued by The Economist and the World Bank earlier this year. It would be very tempting for us to say, "No need to worry about Africa's digital divide - they've got cell phones, don't they?" but the fact of the matter is that none of us who take Internet access for granted would want to be relegated to using mobile phones as our sole source of access. Try going about your day-to-day business for a week with your computer shut off, using only your phone, and you'll quickly see what I mean.... ...Different development challenges require different tools. No doubt, mobile phones will be near the top of the list -- but that list also includes $100 laptops, wind-up electricity generators, low-cost community radio transmitters, and the timeless ham radio.... http://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/25/international/africa/25africa.html?adxnnl…

WSIS
by Monica Kerretts-Makau 26 Aug '05

26 Aug '05

While i agree with Waudo and Florence as regards WSIS, I think we need to be reminded of the structure and protocol of WSIS, who it is for and how it is administered. For that please see http://www.itu int/wsis/ (It is first and foremost a government stakeholder meeting in which all other stakeholders are invited participants) As was evidence in the Accra precom meeting it was obvious we lacked certain modalities.( details which those present raised after Accra see below ) I believe we agreed to change things and this is the time to do so. In this respect,I believe we have a WSIS team (government organ) chaired by Katundu Michael of CCK. Since WSIS is first and foremost a government stakeholder meeting with all other stakeholders (ie. civil society as invited participants) i think we should ensure that proper protocol is followed in this regard and direction should be led from this team and the PS who commissioned this team? At the end of the day implementing of policy while possible from civil society ( as evidence by Kicanet and all other NGO activities going on country wide) -government needs to lead the way. What we as KIP/KiCTNet should be demanding is to be included as part of the delegation such that the structure that represents in Kenya is inclusive of all stakeholders and that we feed off each other given our respective strengths expertise and authority. Previous uses raised/observed at WSIS meetings Kenyas participation in international policy making-A brief from Accra WSIS conference I wish to make some comments /suggestions based on observations on International participation and policy making: The issues: Ø At the Accra conference it was observed that most of the Kenyans present were unaware of their colleagues and which organizations they represented Ø It was also evident that the split in participation was delineated along the lines of Civil Society, Government, Private sector and Media Ø Many had not been involved in Policy making from an international (Africa regional perspective) and therefore due process and how things were conducted was lacking Ø There was also a lack of knowledge on the ongoing issues of WSIS and its history by many of the participants who had come in for the first time. The following was suggested from the Kenyan meeting held with the PS Ø Kenyas participation (as a country, more so in this case the ICT sector) should be representative of all sectors of the economy. Therefore Private sector, civil society , media and Government as stakeholders should be part of the team involved in regional participation . This would ensure that we have all stakeholders have adequate representation in meetings and are well briefed on what Kenyas position is on the various issues. Ø All meetings should have frequent update and feedback. A wonderful case in point is a representative at the UN WGIG Waudo who has involved all participants through the KIP list of the current deliberations as well as what is taking place.as well as the Kenya Policy coordinator- Dr. Florence Etta and all involved at IDRC who have facilitated an inclusive stakeholder participation through the use of a group email KIP LIST Ø As Kenyans we may need to ensure that this goes on irrespective of IDRC It was concluded that a report and feedback be done on the various issues raised. FUTURE OF POLICY MAKING IN KENYA We all need to change our attitude on who takes part in policy making. Policy making is not a prerogative of Government but rather the participation and inclusiveness of all stakeholders in society. The Governments role is to ensure that these suggestions are mandated through Acts in parliament. It is noted with disappointment that Parliament is no longer a place where policies are mandated and hope to see this change in the near future The Governments central role in policy making necessitates that they would in most cases receive the invitation to take part in regional and international meetings. It is suggested that the Government take a more participatory role in inviting stakeholders to such meetings. The continuity of policy making is crucial to the development of any sector. It is suggested that an update on all meetings pertaining to Kenyas role in the international and regional arena in ICT be documented and our position stated for each meeting. The ministry website www.information.go.ke would probably be a good place to compile this. Questions to be addressed: Ø How can we ensure effective participation in policy making? Ø How can government ensure that representation to meetings is efficiently and effectively coordinated? Ø How can we ensure that feedback from such meetings is channeled through to the grassroots and/or all stakeholders? Ø What channels can best be used for this?

The following document outlines briefly the documents that will be negotiated, how they will be negotiated, and different opportunities for lobbying and the timetable for negotiations for PrepCom III. http://africa.rights.apc.org/index.shtml?apc=he_1&x=1060734 regards, Njenga -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Africa-CS-WSIS]Week 1: WSIS Prepcom III Date: Thu, 25 Aug 2005 02:43:20 +1000 From: Emmanuel Njenga <njenga(a)apc.org> Reply-To: africa(a)wsis-cs.org To: africa(a)wsis-cs.org References: <0MKwtQ-1E7xOc0XAI-0007wd(a)mrelayeu.kundenserver.de> Dear all, (Français en dessous) As you have all been informed, the Africa civil society discussion forum begins this week in preparation for the WSIS summit and the programme is outlined as follows; Week 1 : (24 -30 August) : Prepcom III (What’s happening and how to make the most of it (Moderation by Nnenna) week 2 : (31 Aug - 6 Sept) : Internet Governance Report (Moderated by Ken Lohento) Week 3 : (7 - 13 Sept) : Internet Governance and other issues (Moderated by MawaQi Chango) Week 4 : (14-17): Beyond Tunis, WSIS implementation and follow-up ACSIS (By Emmanuel Njenga and Other) --------------------------------------- Week 1 Focus: Prepcom III – What’s happening and how to make the most of it (Moderation by Nnenna) We will start by focusing on how to prepare for WSIS prepcom 3 (mainly on issues of content, the stakes for Africa, and how to organize ourselves for effective lobbying on our key issues).

Le PrepCom 3 de SMSI aura lier du 19 au 30 septembre et sera la dernière réunion pour la négociation finale des documents L’élément le plus important pour la société civile africaine dans ces préparatifs, c’est d’identifier les sujets clés et les mettre en priorité. Quelques questions à aborder cette semaine : - Comment la société civile africaine pourra t-elle efficacement veiller et faire un plaidoyer autour de documents qui seront en négociation pendant le PrepCom - Si cela est le cas, il faudra donc allouer/déléguer des responsables pour suivre les différentes parties de la réunion, dans les sous-comités spécifiques, participer aux réunions spécifiques des caucus de la société civile, et avoir des personnes pour suivre les groupes de rédaction. - Quels devraient être les documents les plus importants pour la société civile africaine ? - Quels sont les premiers 3-5 points/sujets en relation avec ces documents ? - Quelles seront les recommandations pratiques pour les décideurs ? - Qui sont nos alliés potentiels en relation avec ces sujets ?
