Africa Internet History Snapshot
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

Seth, I have some unpublished works on the history on Internet in Kenya that was originally commissioned by ISOC South Africa. Maybe this is the chance to have it published by ISOC International? I could share the data for free as long as you acknowledge source. walu. --- On Fri, 2/10/12, Seth Orlale <sethorlale@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Seth Orlale <sethorlale@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: [ISOC_KE] Africa Internet History Snapshot To: "Tom Oketch" <tomoketch@gmail.com>, "McTim" <dogwallah@gmail.com> Cc: "ISOC Mailing List" <isoc@lists.my.co.ke> Date: Friday, February 10, 2012, 9:10 AM thanks Tom and McTim, that's a really good start...
