Thank you Dr. Bitange. Although we have not decided on a final date for that, at the moment we are planning to have it somewhere within the 2nd quarter of the coming year (2015). However we do plan to have that communicated soon as we can. I will also make it a point to personally inform you as well as all on this list on that once we have all the plans finalized.

Listers,

We have already started the process of bringing up what will be Mombasa's Technology Hub, The SwahiliBox <http://cio.co.ke/blog/swahilibox-the-next-major-technology-hub-in-africa>, to life, and we have prepped up a team of volunteers to work with us in the process - so we are working together with the tech community here to shape up their next new and major home. It is going to be interesting to eventually see how the Nairobi and Mombasa Technology Communities can come and work together as a result of this. What would be more interesting would be to see the activities we can bring down to the space and create a more "regional" technology landscape.

We shall be sharing the stories as we move along the way. But the next few weeks and months will be God willing very interesting.
