Guys, I'm seeking to procure a couple of dual-sim phones for a small office. Any suggestions on good brands and models? For starters, no budgetary limitations. Stockists may contact me off-list. Cheers. Tony

In today's paper's CCK is sourcing for supply, installation and commissioning GIXP, wonder why they are not working with private initiatiates such as KIXP? There are too many parallel and sometimes duplicate infrastructure initiatives in this country.

I wonder if the Bicycle transport would work in Kenya... but I like this part its hilarious ..... 'Buru buru punda ya mwisho 20 bob' ;-) *The government has invited tenders for design of bicycle lanes under the recently formed national transport policy which also aims at increasing the use of donkeys as a mode of transport. * http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/-/539444/624142/-/rwcbgn/-/index.html Watson

Re: [Skunkworks] Of freelance teams and project afya et al.

Congratulations to the skunk(ette)s team! @ Al: I think more skunk(ette)s are interested but they only have 24 hours in a day... I'm definately keen on seeing how Project Afya goes. I hope the team can share issues they have during development, so that quality is not sacrificed. Perhaps the team can have a wiki where skunk(ette)s can contribute? And BIG THANKS Al especially for pushing for a skunk(ette)s team. 8~) --- On Wed, 7/15/09, Al Kags <alkags(a)gmail.com> wrote: From: Al Kags <alkags(a)gmail.com> Subject: [Skunkworks] Of freelance teams and project afya et al. To: skunkworks(a)my.co.ke Date: Wednesday, July 15, 2009, 7:53 AM Skunk(ettes), I am informed that only one team responded to the project Afya. This team, it seems, consists of some serious professionals and they will be meeting with the client in the next few days. I suppose that only one team responded suggests to me that most skunk(ette)s are uninterested/unable/un-confident to work in teams and bid for work. I had a few who said to me that they had never before bid or done a profile of themselves and therefore were not confident. I had a number of company executives from web companies - including one who is fairly active on this forum - suggest to me that giving a chance to freelance developers is a waste of time and the work should be given to them. One supposes that we shall watch Project Afya's performance with interest. In other news, I had another set of clients who have a project that we can call 'project watu' who have interest in trying out a freelance team. Should they hold out any hope that this model could work in skunkworks?
