VAT application on local software
by joseph karanja 19 Feb '11

19 Feb '11

Hello Skunkworks, I would like to find out if Value Added Tax is applied on locally developed software. Reason I ask is because I've noted that 'imported' softwares e.g. quickbooks, kaspersky etc do not attract VAT. If possible can we get someone from KRA or the media personalities to push this question to the relevant authorities for clarification. -- Regards, Joseph Karanja Sales & Marketing Director Olivine Technology Ojijo Plaza,Plums Lane, Off Ojijo Road, Parklands (Near Parklands Sports Club). www.olivinetech.com P.o.

Android or Bada? Need an honest opinion

I know this has the potential of ending up at the joomla vs drupal corner but im at that point on the road where the samsung of choice has a funny sounding operating system Bada. (Marketing guys should have called it Badder!) based on user experience and practicality of use in future, what do you guys think is wise? all other factors remaining constant. -- *“The twentieth century has been characterized by three developments of great political importance: the growth of democracy, the growth of corporate power, and the growth of corporate propaganda as a means of protecting corporate power against democracy”* ~ Alex Carey ~ Tel No: 0x2af23696

Agile...
by Nicholas Loki 19 Feb '11

Hi Skunks, Recently got asked in an interview for some oversees developer position, "so, what agile software development methodologies do you use?" My 'blonde' response was, ehh...I know all about them, it's just that in Africa we don't really use them. Based on projects I have worked on so far I can see elements of XP (Extreme Programming) that I have used. So coders/developers/architects/project managers et al, what software development methodologies, agile or otherwise, are you using out there? What would you says works for you and why? KR, Loki
