Hi colleagues Kenya will proudly host Sir Tim Berners-Lee the inventor of the World Wide Web who lands in Kenya on 19th to 22nd . Please see his rich resume at http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/ . For the internet enthusiasts and indeed everybody now enjoying the rich experience of the World Wide Web , this visit is an opportunity to review how we are exploiting the invention for our development especially now that fibre has revolutionalised access to bandwidth. As we celebrate the visit, it is also an opportunity to reflect on what contributions we are making to further the invention. In his four day visit Sir Berners-Lee will meet the cross section of the Kenya society , high level government officials , parliament and in particularly committee responsible for ICT, academia , the ICT industry, civil society, the techies and very significantly the physically challenged . I believe a number of KICTANET fraternity will meet and interact with him in some of these events. However, due the limited time of his visit, he may not meet with all of you. As in the past, we want to use this list for you to share the thoughts you would have wanted to share with him during his visit. We shall collate these thoughts and pass them to him during or at the conclusion of his visit. You may wish to read about and refine your thoughts around the World Wide Web Consortium ( www.w3.org) and the World Wide Web Foundation (www.webfoundation.org) institutions he established and continues to support to further the potential of the web to humanity.
