The TechWeek Event was a 2 day event held on the 1st and 5th of December 2018 at the iHub in Nairobi. The event was co-organized by individuals from the Fireside Group, Seacom and the Internet Society and attracted 70 participants. Below is a brief summary of the event. *About TechWeek* TechWeek aims to provide a platform for experienced engineers in the fields of Network Integration, Network Engineering, Internet and Cloud Services to share their knowledge, challenges and ideas with their peers and also with upcoming engineers who may wish to pursue similar career paths. The event was split into two days: a Bootcamp Day and a Conference Day which were both held at the iHub. The Bootcamp covered introductory topics on areas such as routing, network integration, cloud and Internet services. The Conference day consisted of similar topics but covered at a higher level. Some of the highlights of the conference day included a working demonstration of IPv6 on a mobile network, presentations on high speed fibre networks, security and automation principles, and various modern storage and virtualization solutions in use today by various cloud providers in Kenya. *Presentations* The presentations from the event can be found here: https://www.techweek.co.ke. *Attendance* The TechWeek event attracted 70 attendees over the two days from the following backgrounds: *Bootcamp Day – 1st December 2018* *Conference Day – 5th December 2018* [image: cid:image001.png@01D4991C.C83B23C0] [image: cid:image002.png@01D4991C.C83B23C0] *Feedback* Feedback for the event has been positive as per the following feedback: *Bootcamp – 4.15 out of 5 stars* *Conference Day feedback from one of the sessions (average 4.25 out of 5 stars for all sessions)* [image: cid:image003.png@01D4991C.C83B23C0] [image: cid:image004.png@01D4991C.C83B23C0] The participants identified the following areas for improvement for the both the TechWeek Bootcamp and the Conference days: - More days/time for in order to allow more for more topics to be covered - Better time management to allow sessions starting and ending in time Participants were asked on how frequently they think the TechWeek event should be held.

Skunkworks KE - Looking into the future
by Odhiambo Washington 30 Jan '19

30 Jan '19

Oye! The skunkworks domain name has been in existence since 28th March 2006. That's 12 years of community collaboration.. We also need to ensure continuity of the same by letting younger skunks (SkunksNg) to assume control over the server and domain and mentor other Kenyan techies to continue with this spirit that has been kept alive for years by 1st generation ICT techies (tech enthusiasts). I'm proposing that we mark this milestone by giving 20 email addresses @ my.co.ke to the most active skunks. We'll need a few to be nominated to be server admins as well. I have recently updated/migrated the server from Debian Wheezy to Ubuntu Bionic Beaver. Nominations are welcome. Ideas to move forward with the community into the future are also welcome.
