Re: Market Research for ALL The reason I am carrying out this adhoc survey is to find out how coders/software companies make a sale. >From the replies I've viewed without any bias nobody seems to know much about software companies in Kenya. Bottom line is if a forum designed for & used by coders finds it difficult to name at least 10 Kenyan software companies. How will the end-users/customers/clients ever get to hear about you? -- Regards, Joseph Karanja Sales & Marketing Director Olivine Technology Ojijo Plaza,Plums Lane, Off Ojijo Road, Parklands (Near Parklands Sports Club).

We start with problem definitions created through consultations with NGOs, governments and experts in the field from around the world, then we invite hackers to a come together to organize and go to work putting their skills to use to solve those problems with software solutions that make a difference on the ground. At a RHoK hackathon, new technologies are born, existing platforms are built upon, and innovative new ideas attract attention and support. At the close of the hackathon, teams present the technologies they have developed and prizes are awarded. *The Details* This Random Hacks of Kindness Hackathon is happening in Nairobi from June 4 th through 6th,, with global satellite events going on around the world in Jakarta, Sydney, Sao Paolo and Washington, DC. * * *Why Do This?* - Save the world: You have the skills to make a difference. Hacks developed at the last RHoK hackathon were used on the ground in Haiti and Chile following the devastating earthquakes there in early 2010. The world needs these solutions. - Exposure: Got a new product, idea or technology to share with the hacker community? Put it to work at the hackathon. - Assistance: Extend the function and applicability of your existing products or software through global crowdsourced development. - Input: Get real-time feedback from Subject Matter Experts in software and disaster risk.
