Job Ads - Use iHub Job Board
by Phares Kariuki 04 May '11

04 May '11

Suggestion: Instead of re-inventing the wheel, as Joshua has suggested, to reduce ads, we should place all job ads at the iHub Job Board. Guys looking for interns can advertise there and guys looking for internships as well, can get them from the iHub job board... The URL is: http://www.ihub.co.ke/pages/jobs.php <http://www.ihub.co.ke/pages/jobs.php>Thanks :-) -- With Regards, Phares Kariuki | T: +254 734 810 802 | E: pkariuki(a)gmail.com | Twitter: kaboro | Skype: kariukiphares | B: http://www.kaboro.com/ |

Formation of the Kenyan Software & Developers Association / Forum / Group
by aki 03 May '11

03 May '11

While am not one yet as a local software company or developer, I think time has come for us to develop the portfolio and what we want to see done. Even more important is to see where the Govt is on such matters and whether at all it does anything or has left the industry to the mercy of its own survival. *These are our competitors:* - Pirated software - Open Source software - Proprietory software - Software vendors *Who are applicable to become members:* - Local software companies ( not vendors ) - Frameworks - Platforms - Developers - Anyone who develops localised software *What does the portfolio do?* - Helps us achieve and document what needs to be done on short term and long term goals - Representation and decision making on various ICT industry boards - Improve on the educational system - Creation of awareness and more opportunities for developers - In-house software certification - In-house testing facility - Promotion and Marketing - Promote policies that Govt incentive schemes and goals - Long term visions of the sector Please take your time and think what and where we need to head to. Ideas, points and discussions are all welcome. Asante.
