D-Day 1st Sept 2009 : lets open the discussion
by aki 30 May '09

30 May '09

Hi all, As you can see below, the task below requires quite a commitment. But we sometime have to make those sacrfifices to get things done. Pending personal finances and time, I've set a commited date of 1st Sept 2009 as the video website date. By whatever means necessary, the plan is to move. The site will be simple and can evolve over time. I may co-host if I can resolve some personal issues etc but the show must go on. You may create your own 1 minute flv video and send. I can post or you can post directly after moderation 24hrs period. Content strictly ICT related such as news, projects, ideas, if you are a solution or service provider etc, programmer, content developer etc. A small overview of content for first 4 months is as follows but not limited to ( if you have the time ) ( pls remember I cannot do this full time so mostly evenings or sat will work ) : Suggested Main program ( I've missed on many who should be here, pls add yourself ): @Josiah, Riyaz and other who founded skunks. This will be a simple opening video but covers plenty. @A four part series with Alex and CCK initiative @A four part series Evans and LPAK and others who are involved. @Washington and BSD @David Kiania : VOIP and other contributions @Conrad Akungu ( Rad )- decorated soldier in his own field. There are others too @Ushaidi : Eric and all other developers who got mentioned recently at open source awards @chuks and security @Mombasa skunks and tech scene @RF guys and gals. This one a must @Any skunks ( Tony, Njihia, Mbuthia, there are so many ) working on area of expertise @Any kictanet people who are working on policy and the rest. @long term live webcast of tuesdays meeting and all technology related events Suggested Normal program: @ABC of technology : Tips, guides. I may do this one and welcome all ideas and video contributions for this @Weekly/Monthly Hardcore tech item : this will be a sequence Suggested Self videos : @anyone who is in technology or doing something. A special request for Wesley. A few months ago you mentioned about lack of content in national media. This credit goes to you. Hopefully you can think of a small 8 week series that can make it to both KBC and online. I can help you with content if needed, maybe co-host with you if possible. We will then need assistance to get the video to KBC and aired. its a long shot but I hope once they see what its about, they will consider it. I've left out many things which I've considered including modalities, but please shoot those questions and contributions. The discussion is open to anyone. Also, if anyone wants to use the idea and get things done, I say all the better. There are time, commitment and cost implications. So all the help anyone gives or gets will be a big step forward. Cheers.

Smart Bus concept
by Kevin Ouma 29 May '09

29 May '09

Just read on the new smart buses being introduced in Nairobi in 2 weeks. Among the things that caught my attention were :- http://www.capitalfm.co.ke/news/Local/Kenya-Smart-Buses-to-ease-traffic.html - “They will keep scheduled times so that you will know that at this bus stop, this bus will be here at this particular time,” - The Smart Buses will be using software that enables people to get more information about the routes and times of travel.You can even sms saying that this is the bus stop and it will tell you that the next bus is coming in the next many minutes - It will charge according to the distance charged Does anyone think it will work against the Mungiki infested transport sector Kevin Ouma
