Way to go for Kenya. I think this is called "walking the talk". Kudos to the men and women behind this great initiative and just to mention a few in Govt: Ndemo, Paul K, most likely Kate G, Google: Mucheru/Ory and many others behind the scenes. Those outside govt may not know but to pull off this type of thing - ahead of the Freedom of Info Act and under the entrenched govt culture of hiding data - is a great leap of faith by the folks in Govt. You can almost say: Am almost proud being Kenyan ;-) walu. --- On Fri, 7/8/11, Paul M <paulitrix@gmail.com> wrote: From: Paul M <paulitrix@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [kictanet] Government to Launch Open Data July 8th @KICC To: jwalu@yahoo.com Cc: "KICTAnet ICT Policy Discussions" <kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> Date: Friday, July 8, 2011, 10:09 AM Great initiative.
