Suicides at iPad factory in China revealed, Something rotten at Apple's core?
by aki 02 Jun '10

02 Jun '10

As the iPad is launched in Britain, a special investigation now reveals the full shocking toll of suicides at its Chinese factory. A once pretty 17-year-old lies crippled in a hospital bed two miles from the factory where she worked long, tedious hours checking the screens of Apple iPads for tiny flaws. Her parents brood silently at her bedside. At 8am one morning in March - just 40 days after she began her first job at Apple's main supplier, Foxconn, in southern China - Tian Yu took the decision to leap from her fourth-floor dormitory rather than take her place on the production line. Tian survived but must wonder if she would not have been better off dead. After two weeks in a coma, she woke to find herself paralysed from the waist down, unable to sit up by herself and suffering from fractures and liver and spleen damage....

Re: [Skunkworks] AfriNIC 12, Kigali Rwanda, Remote Participation
by Walubengo J 02 Jun '10

Dear Colleagues, For the duration of the AfriNIC-12 conference, we have setup two mechanisms for remote participation: ++ a streaming server to listen to audio of the proceedings and ++ a Jabber server to interact with fellow attendees. For the benefit of remote participants who wish to follow the proceedings of the conferences, meeting sessions will be broadcast live between 2-3 June 2010. In addition, an instant messaging server will be available to post comments and/or queries. Live Streaming: The live audio stream will be available at the following URL :- http://streaming.afrinic.net:8000/meeting (this link will be available from 2nd June 2010) Most platforms should have a client immediately available (windows media player, quicktime, real, winamp, vlc, mplayer... etc.) capable of playing back the stream. Typically, all you need to do is navigate to the aforementioned URL and your browser will automatically launch the appropriate application necessary to listen to the audio. Alternatively, you can launch your favorite media player and from the "File" menu select "Open URL", enter the URL above and then hit "Ok". Instant Messaging (IM ): For ease of use, AfriNIC supports two methods to connect to the meeting Jabber services; either through a web interface using your web browser, or through a conventional Jabber client. Those with jabber clients/software can join the meeting room, afrinic-12(a)jabber.afrinic.net. A list of jabber clients can be found at http://www.jabber.org/web/Clients If you have no access to a jabber client, you can alternatively send their comments and/or queries by email to live-comments[at]afrinic.net If you would like to participate, but are unable to setup a jabber client, you're welcome to use the web interface available at: http://jabber.afrinic.net [You'll want to joint the room afrinic12(a)conference.jabber.afrinic.net] More information and detailed agenda of the conferences can be found at the following URL: http://meeting.afrinic.net/afrinic-12/index.php/the-meeting/agenda Sincerely, AfriNIC Meeting Team_______________________________________________ Af12-announce mailing list Af12-announce(a)afrinic.net https://lists.afrinic.net/mailman/listinfo.cgi/af12-announce --- On Tue, 6/1/10, alice <alice(a)apc.org> wrote: From: alice <alice(a)apc.org> Subject: [kictanet] EAST AFRICAN INTERNET GOVERNANCE FORUM 2010; STRENGTHENING EAST AFRICA’S CRITICAL INTERNET RESOURCES 11-13 August 2010, Kampala, Uganda.

This third EA-IGF is hosted by the Uganda Communications Commission (UCC), I-Network Uganda, Collaboration on International ICT policy for East and Southern (CIPESA), and Women of Uganda Network (WOUGNET). Under the theme “*Strengthening East Africa’s Critical Internet Resources”*, participants will this year address and discuss the governance of Critical Internet Resources (CIRs) in East Africa. Particular focus has been given to three key CIRs that have been identified as cross-cutting.Past EA-IGFs identified issues of *ccTLD management and ownership, transitioning to IPv6, and the importance of national and regional IXPs* as crosscutting issues that needed to be addressed both at the national and regional levels. The 2010 meeting will therefore provide comprehensive consideration to addressing ccTLD management in East Africa. Research findings on ccTLDs will be shared based on the five priority issues effecting ccTLDs identified by the 2008 and 2009 EA-IGFs; Cybercrime, Policy and Regulation of ccTLDs, ccTLDs and consumer rights, and key issues that affect access to Broadband and Internet and how these affect the management and coordination of ccTLDs. The challenges and effective strategies for transitioning to IPv6 will also be discussed. This year’s access theme will examine the status of broadband in East Africa, noting achievements, hurdles to be overcome and plans for the immediate future. Security and privacy session will address Cybercrime and how it affects women differently among other Cybercrime concerns. The 2010 EA-IGF will introduce a new session focusing on emerging issues for the Internet society of East Africa. Policy and regulatory framework issues around cross-border/regional ICT certification and the role of youth in advancing the Internet Governance debate in East Africa. The meeting will also discuss the review and future of the global UN IGF process. The EA-IGF supports the continuation and extension of the mandate of the IGF and also supports Kenya’s expression of interest in hosting the 2011 IGF A *parliamentary and IG session* will be held on 13 August and will review the declarations made during the 2009 EA-IGF held in Nairobi as well as address emerging IG issues. The session will be attended by parliamentarians from the five East African countries as well as from the United Kingdom. The outcomes of the EA-IGF will be submitted to the fifth UN Internet Governance Forum taking place in Vilnius, Lithuania 14 – 17, September 2010. Further, the proceedings will be presented at other national and regional forums in Africa. For each thematic session, representatives from each country will provide their national perspective on the theme, identifying/sharing key issues, challenges and recommendations. *What is the EA-IGF*** The EA-IGF was convened in 2008 by the Kenya ICT Action Network (KICTANet) as a multi-stakeholder process with the aim of ensuring meaningful participation of East African internet stakeholders in internet governance policy processes. The EA-IGF is open to representatives from government, civil society, academia, private sector, media, consumer groups, other entities and individuals interested in Internet Governance issues. This regional IGF process brings together participants from Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya, Burundi and South Sudan to identify, explore and build consensus around common Internet policy priority issues in the region. The EA-IGF model sees each country begin the process with online discussions to identify the Internet policy issues most important to them, followed by a face-to-face national IGF meeting. These national processes then fed into the regional meeting, the EA-IGF. The outcomes of the national and regional processes have then been very successfully shared at two global IGFs. While the EA-IGF is informed by IGF it does not mimic the global process. The national IGFs, which form the building block for the regional EA-IGF, identify issues that are unique and important to their local situations and needs. The goal of the EA-IGF is to create a Community of Practice that will be a sustaining foundation for meaningful participation of East African stakeholders in Internet public policy debates at the national, regional and international level. *The 2010 EA-IGF is supported by* · Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) · Collaboration on International ICT policy for East and Southern Africa (CIPESA) · I-Network Uganda · Women of Uganda Network (WOUGNET) · International Development and Research Centre (IDRC) · Japan International Corporation Agency (JICA) · Nominet United Kingdom · AT&T · AfriNic · AfTLD · Internet Society (ISOC) · Centre for Global Communications (GLOCOM) · Kenya ICT Action Network (KICTANet) · Internet Governance Forum (UN-IGF) *To register for this event or obtain additional information, please visit the meeting website at **http://www.eaigf.or.ke* _______________________________________________ kictanet mailing list kictanet(a)lists.kictanet.or.ke http://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/listinfo/kictanet This message was sent to: jwalu(a)yahoo.com Unsubscribe or change your options at http://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/options/kictanet/jwalu%40yahoo.com
