EVALUATING A TAMPER-PROOF SMS VOTING SYSTEM
by Oyunga Omamo 24 Jul '17

24 Jul '17

I have developed a tamper proof SMS voting system that can be used in any election including our national elections. Let me emphasize that I am serious when I say tamper proof. I have published a paper on the system. There are mobile numbers where the system can be tested by arrangement. I would like assistance to organize a workshop to discuss the possibility of electronic voting in Kenya and to expose the system to a wider audience.If any one wants to test the system, please inform me through this forum.

MEDIUM PUBLICATION FOR SKUNKWORKS-KENYA
by Jose Muga 26 Apr '17

26 Apr '17

Hi People, I don’t know how many people here are a fan of Medium.com. It is a very good place where people can read great articles without ads and in the most beautiful way possible. I wish there was more content on it that was local but unfortunately not many people from Kenya or Africa do post on it. I have this idea to have a Skunkworks publication on Medium where readers here can submit articles and have them put in different submenus. We can start small, but have the following submenus for example 1. Programming 2. Cloud technology 3. Tech news / Ideas 4. Startup journeys / experiences 5. Events Plus lets be honest, everyone having their own personal blogging website will hardly get any visibility. Here are a few of the interesting Publications that I read daily. (Best on the app) https://medium.com/backchannel https://medium.freecodecamp.com/ https://medium.com/swlh https://hackernoon.com/ https://medium.com/startup-grind A few Kenyans I follow (Though most people don’t write much including myself Lol) https://medium.com/@jpmuga (My profile) https://medium.com/@moseskemibaro https://medium.com/@brendawambui https://medium.com/@Juliani254 https://medium.com/@mwirigi https://medium.com/@StellaNjogo https://medium.com/@mkaigwa Lastly, if you care about SEO and the visibility of your blogs on googles 1st page, then you should post on medium.com with links leading back to your website. Enjoy your day!! Regards Muga.
