Dear All, There of us who believe in Interoperability - enabling different systems (whether open or proprietary) to seamlessly connect and communicate - are meeting at: *The Jacaranda Hotel, 10am-1pm on Saturday, Nov 7, 2009.* PS Ndemo will be represented by his Head of IT. We welcome other E-Gov Practitioners / Executives to come and participate in a discussion to educate us on how we can help Government build Information and transactional systems to benefit all Kenyans. We will hear from a Kenyan who is part of a team LOCALLY building an E-Gov system for an EU Municipality. He Will Be Interviewed By Another Guru Building Some HR (System.Web) at the UN in Nairobi. You Our Audience Also Get To Question Them Both! Conrad Akunga, our own Kenyan Microsoft C# (an OPEN Programming Technology) Most Valuable Professional - Awarded to him by a World Wide and World Class Community of Software Developers, Will Facilitate the E-Gov Q & A Session! Our Good Software Developers (GSD's) get to find out how government talks to them and Government gets to find out what kind of working conditions our GSD's need to deliver working Information and Transactional systems for Kenyans. Then We Leave at 1pm! There Will Be Refreshments In Between 10am and 1pm. Probably at 11.30am for those who register. KARIBUNI! ___________________ Please e-mail me AND emmanuel.birech@microsoft.com to confirm your attendance - for planning purposes. ___________________ http://blogs.msdn.com/interoperability/ *For the more technically inclined / interested, we will show 2 FANTASTIC 'History of Visual Studio' Videos at 9am-10am* There are 10 parts but we will only show Parts 1 and 2 - which overview the other 8 videos.
