SHAREPOINT SATURDAY
by William Warero 30 Mar '12

30 Mar '12

Verbatim via S.M Muraya *SHAREPOINT SATURDAY* http://spsnairobi.eventbrite.com/ This event is in the planning stages. Organizations having trouble finding SharePoint Developer skills locally will be interested in sponsoring this event. Some good folk will be flying in. SharePoint, is very big globally. http://blogs.wsj.com/venturecapital/2012/02/16/rackspace-buys-up-sharepoint… KICTB (ict.go.ke) tenders / bids (e.g. Lands, Judiciary, KNH) locked out SharePoint by requiring J2EE (Java Based) document management systems instead of specifying / asking for CMIS Compliant ones. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_Management_Interoperability_Services Anyway SharePoint is rarely if ever prioritized and well deployed in Oracle / Java shops. -- *William Warero* *** * *Skype:william.warero| Twitter:wwarero http://www.warero.wordpress.com *

May be they will lower the price after the excitement dies down Go see it once though, its an experience you will not forget quickly especially if they are running a good movie. The first time I ever saw it, they run a clip of a shuttle taking off. It really felt like real, the only thing that was missing was Florida wind on the face.

GoTV Rant
by Brian L 29 Mar '12

29 Mar '12

First: The fall of smart tv Second: Price increment on GoTV subscription Third: Still no sign of a new GoTV package for Kenya This is not how we shall grow our terrestrial Digital TV migration. While I rant is there an increment of the subscription on DSTV packages? I hope what Wananchi are lobbying for will go through, that the monopoly ceases. -- Lusiola Brian |3 R 1 /-\ |\|

Problem with Single sign on: Joomla and Sharepoint
by Tech List Kenya 29 Mar '12

29 Mar '12

Hi Guys, Any ideas? Trying to do single sign-on between a joomla and a sharepoint portal. 1. We have successful logins with out-of-the-box joomla 2. But when I put registered on the articles and menus (for controlled access), the login doesnt work 3. From joomla side, we use idemauth component 4. From sharepoint, they use siteminder Am thinking PHP doesnt put any data into $_POST or $_REQUEST Error log for simplesamlphp Mar 22 07:06:51 simplesamlphp ERROR [21e77ad7d3] SimpleSAML_Error_Exception: Error 2 - file_exists() [<a href='function.file-exists'>function.file-exists</a>]: open_basedir restriction in effect.
