Africa Internet History Snapshot
by Seth Orlale 15 Feb '12

15 Feb '12

Hello people, I have an infographic to create to contribute to an Africa Internet History Snapshot that will be showcased at the celebration of Internet Society’s 20th Anniversary at the Global INET in April in Geneva as well as on the Internet Society’s website and is expected to get high visibility throughout the world. I have until end of this weekend to submit it. I'm working on a few ideas but will need a little help. What great defining facts, leaders and milestones of the Internet and Internet Society in Kenya can you point out? Cheers Seth Orlale Better Living International +254 722 597912

Protect us from spamming
by Tom Oketch 26 Jan '12

26 Jan '12

Hi Barrack, On what basis does Daniel Otieno Omondi use ISOC Kenya mailing list to spam us? Why and how does his personal and private business messages come with 'ISOC_KE' as his title? This is an abuse to anyone that receives these unsolicited messages without prior consent. If everyone else is fine with this and I'm the odd one out I suspect there is something I don't know that the others know. Please enlighten me. If this was expressly done without any consultation, then we may need a by-law or some by-laws to protect members of ISOC Kenya from such abuse. Please urgently address this. -- Tom Oketch Executive Director La Vie Foundation P. O. Box 2160-00200 Nairobi.
