Listers, So during the weekend there was some discussion with the tech community over things such as the implications for the visit of figures like Mark Zukerberg. And how as a market we need to respond to such visits and get the correct narrative out there, and create a conducive structure that allows for the conversion of these narrative to action points. But for such things to happen the very foundation needs to have a think tank. The argument is that even if we do have the ICT Policy, honors is on us as a tech community to organize ourselves around how to consume that policy. In a way Kictanet is doing well in this regard. Perhaps (and this is up for discussion), how do we take things a step further to not only discuss, but to journal (and expose these journals - and have a life cycle for these journals), over a period of time, such vital discussions. This also includes channeling trough Kictanet the correct discussion points. Inspiration can be borrowed from how Ali sometimes blogs for such things, but something a bit more stakeholder driven and a lot more neutral. It can also be once a month or on a need basis. Can be something digest, etc.. -- *Ahmed Maawy* Executive Director - SwahiliBox / M-Power (CBO) Curator - Global Shapers Mombasa Hub Ambassador - Open Knowledge Director - Startup Grind Mombasa Software Developer - AJ+ / EveryLayer (KE) +254 714 960 627 Skype: ultimateprogramer swahilibox.co.ke globalshapers.org www.okfn.org <http://okfn.org/> startupgrind.com ajplus.net www.everylayer.com
