Vision2030 website
by Peter Karunyu 18 Apr '12

18 Apr '12

Good people, is it just me or is the Vision2030 website built using CodeIgniter? :-) Looking at a URL like http://www.vision2030.go.ke/index.php/events/transforming_kenya, the index.php and the underscore between transforming and kenya look eerily familiar to CI way of doing things. If so, this is awesome!

Listers I share here a link http://t.co/OyGiQPo to a blog from Ushahidi co-founder Juliana Rotich on Open Data and open government. It is a great read on the importance of open data and particularly relevant as PS Ndemo leads Kenya's delegation that is currently in Brasilia for the 2nd Annual Open Government Partnership Meeting. It is a great read and helps create understanding on the subject.

Samsung Targeting A More Local Approach to the Region
by King'ori J. Maina 18 Apr '12

18 Apr '12

Wasup guys, Check out this article on the Business Daily<http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/Samsung+targets+rural+folks+with+solar+c…> ; Samsung targets rural folks with solar charged laptop<http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/Samsung+targets+rural+folks+with+solar+c…> I didn't even know that Samsung was here locally! Seems like Kenya, thanks to Ushahidi & iHub is quickly becoming the destination of choice for all these tech firms ... they've got a local Facebook ( http://www.facebook.com/samsungmobilekenya) and Twitter ( https://twitter.com/#!/SamsungMobileKE) accounts to engage their audience. What do you guys think about this move?

Re"transmitting" Radio Online
by Kelvin 18 Apr '12

18 Apr '12

Hey guys, and gals Suppose one could somehow take input from a local radio station and then offer a stream of the same online. Is this legal currently in KE? Or would one need to get a license from the said radio station, possibly even CCK? Please advise. Kelvin www.likechapaa.com <http://www.dukapress.com>www.dukapress.org
