Robert, If they do am ready to also offer to help.Thats a nice ideas.From skunkworks,quite some nice ideas of techies meeting together and have a bar camp and all.And since not all of us can make it to maybe a planning meeting,people could meet virtually to share ideas. I have interests in participating in e-government,but I don't have any pointers.If we can have virtual conference on such then would be great. I think I support you on this one. -----Original Message----- From: robert yawe Sent: 02/12/2009 5:20:16 pm To: timrick@gmail.com Cc: KICTAnet ICT Policy Discussions Subject: Re: [kictanet] [ke-internetusers] ICDL and foreign certifications forbasiccomputer usage Hi David, We need to move forward and set the stage for the rest, all we need is to talk to KDN, OrangeTelkom or Safaricom to setup a conferencing server and we can have this brainstorm virtually. We where all up in arms when the cabinet went to Mombasa on a 11 million bonding session.  Most of them are over 60 so they need a siesta after every 2 hours on activity, they don't know any better so lets show by example. If one of those mentioned above is game then I am ready to offer my time and skill to run the virtual conference.
