Hi, I have a HP 514 phone I want to experiment with. It has a standard 10-key pad. I want to install Android for fun's sake. Anyone tried this on a phone that was not released with android?

Invitation: 2009 EA-IGF, 7-9 September 2009, Nairobi, Kenya
by Vincent Ngundi 01 Sep '09

01 Sep '09

Dear Colleagues, The Kenya ICT Action Network (KICTANet), the Kenya Network Information Centre (KENIC) in collaboration with other organisations are pleased to invite you to the second East African Internet Governance Forum (EA-IGF 2009) to be held at the Jacaranda hotel in Nairobi, Kenya, from 7th to 9th September 2009. The programme and programme summary are available from the EA-IGF website: www.eaigf.or.ke. The forums theme is: Advancing the Internet Governance Debate in East Africa: ³Thinking Globally; Acting Locally². The 2009 EA-IGF is a follow up to the inaugural EA-IGF that was held in November 2008 in Nairobi, which aimed at catalysing the internet governance debate in the East African sub region. With the increased access to broadband infrastructure in the East Africa region and the continued spread of sophisticated mobile services, understanding and addressing Internet policy issues has become a priority. The national and regional EA-IGF¹s will help prepare East African stakeholders to address the opportunities, strengths and challenges that arise, as well as ensuring that they have a voice in shaping Internet policy decisions at the global level. This year¹s EAIGF therefore seeks to continue to strengthen the national and regional dialogues on Internet Governance as well as; * Increase awareness of Internet Governance issues, including but not limited to local content and cyber security; * Continue to develop capacity and skills of various stakeholders and build regional consensus IG issues; and * Begin to discuss the development of a regional East African Communication policy, among others. The outcomes of the forum will be submitted to the East Africa Regulatory, Postal and Telecommunications Organization (EARPTO), the African Parliamentary Knowledge Network (APKN), as well as, the fourth United Nations Internet Governance Forum (UNIGF) taking place in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, in November 2009. The EA-IGF will also set the stage for the 37th Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) meeting to be held in Nairobi, Kenya, in March 2010. For planning purposes, please register for the meeting at http://www.eaigf.or.ke or send an email to meeting(a)eaigf.or.ke confirming your attendance; by 2nd September 2009. Kind Regards, ----------- Vincent Ngundi Administrative Manager KENIC - The Kenya Network Information Centre http://www.kenic.or.ke vincent(a)kenic.or.ke [T] +254 20 4450057/8 [C] +254 20 2398036 [M] +254 733 790073 [F] +254 20 4450087 ³dot KE for Every Name in Kenya!² ################

Ogure, I've forwarded your email to the Skunkworks mail list.

I would like to implement a system for the court registry. Among other things, the system should be self updating at the point on which data is entered, the result of which is sent to the web interface for the public. There are several categories of users with different levels of access. Its an online based system. PHP comes in handy though I tend to think Servlets have the power to handle the volume of transactions of this magnitude especially by the fact that it combines both a stand alone system that feeds the web-based interface, save for the complexity that comes with it. The time frame for development is limited. Your take(s)?

Re: [Skunkworks] 1999 census results:Technology

I just wondered to myself, couldnt we get PDAs or laptops(hata kama they would have been leased or something) and have the info entered in real time and sent to a central database where its calcutated immedietly? We have to wait until December to get the results? Are we serious? Just another avenue where technology would have saved us lots of time and money and been a lot more accurate(maybe someone doesnt want accuracy) On Mon, Aug 17, 2009 at 9:38 AM, Al Kags <alkags(a)gmail.com> wrote: > The 1999 Census results were published and there is a book. > Al Kags > ----------------------- > Author, Living Memories. > “IF THERE IS SUCH A THING AS Kenya, these stories belong to us all, just as > the pictures in Kenya Burning document the trauma of a nation during the > post-election violence.
