"The distinctive digital experience in Nairobi inspires confidence in its youthful community of programmers, bloggers and Web enthusiasts. Over the past year, about 600 people in Nairobi — most under 25 — have coalesced into a group called Skunk Works, sharing ideas and encouraging new businesses. In June, it held an all-day workshop that included sessions on using the Android phone operating system from Google, developing applications for digital maps and creating content for mobile phones." By the way, Wilfred was working on the Ushahidi iPhone app when Gregg talked to him. :) Erik Hersman www.AfriGadget.com www.WhiteAfrican.com www.ushahidi.com _______________________________________________ skunkworks mailing list [email protected] http://ole.kenic.or.ke/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks Blog http://skunkworks-ke.blogspot.com Beta Blog http://blog.my.co.ke
