Re: [Skunkworks] Networking Cocktail for Skunkworks

Hi All I think to be honest a couple of us might be missing the point here. Let's not mix personal preferences with networking. All I think we need is to agree on a venue and common sense dictates a restaurant as an ideal place and let everyone order what makes them network best from water to Rum! Otherwise Techies have very unique/complex personal preferences " requirements" and dwelling on them here just negates the whole purpose of networking. On that note, I support the venue on mpaka road opposite Black Diamond as suggested by one of the member above since I have attended a cocktail there before. It is silent and ideal! By the way Patrick loop me in on the 4th event :) My blatant thoughts.....

Re: [Skunkworks] [kictanet] Cybercrime Bill 2016
by Tony White 13 Jul '16

13 Jul '16

I have read through the bill, and - although I am not a lawyer - it looks like it has been well thought out and makes sense (unlike *another* recent bill!). My main concern, with this (or any other) bill, is where it may be open to abuse, intimidation, and/or corruption. I hope those with 'legal' minds may discover the specific areas which may be open to abuse, and where further clarification within the bill may address those concerns. Specifically, related to those whose work involves the provision, and/or testing of the security of systems to guard against possible cybercrimes. I would like to see a section where specific exemption is allowed where permission by a person in authority over a computer system or telecommunications network is given to a specific person or organisation to conduct testing of a system's security - commonly referred to as 'penetration testing' or 'pentest' My initial thoughts.

<OT> Note to job/internship applicants
by Peter Karunyu 13 Jul '16

13 Jul '16

Due to my contribution on the "Intern required" thread, I have received two "applications" within a few minutes. Let me offer some unsolicited advise to potential job/internship applicants on this forum 1. Read the instructions in the email carefully regarding how and where you should apply. Ability to follow instructions on email is a key skill in making it in the job market. 2. When applying via email, include a "cover email" A cover email is basically an official job application letter, only typed out on email. Equivalent in stature to cover letter. Do not just attach your CV and expect the employer to know what your are applying for. 3. Coloured and fancy fonts in your cover email might look nice to you, but they might not to the potential employer. Choose wisely.

OT: Buying stuff from the US

Hey people, I recently came to find out that most things are chepaer when purchased from the US, rather than from the UK (even after the GBP started falling after Brexit). I am currently looking for how I can ship in stuff from the US fast and in a cost effective way. I already know of Salabed, but they just do not respond to emails in good time. That is not the issue though, I'd like to hear of alternatives to Salabed and their rates too. Thanks in advance. S.

06 Jul '16

Hey guys, Please read for yourself the Bill, which was already introduced in Parliament (National Assembly) . It among other things requires ICT professionals to acquire licences before they can practice, undertake annual practicums and licence their businesses. If the Bill is passed into law, one cannot practice ICT without a licence. See the Bill here: http://kenyalaw.org/kl/fileadmin/pdfdownloads/bills/2016/InformationCommuni… There are people organising to take action on KICTANet kictanet.or.ke and on Twitter #KillICTBill. Regards,

IP Blockage
by Patrick Mathenge 06 Jul '16

06 Jul '16

Hi skunks, In the recent few days, I have kept on getting my public IP blocked. Essentially the scenario has been that users including myself can access the internet from the LAN, but cant reach my mail and web host servers. No emails as I am popping directly from the server. However when I use a Modem/Phone tethering, I am able to reach the servers. I am not an expert in networks so would appreciate advice from the experts in the list-including recommendations such as change your ISP, Host etc etc -- Kind Regards, Patrick Mathenge Cell: +254722630969 Linkedin Profile <https://ke.linkedin.com/in/patrick-mathenge-132b3b19>

Hi guys, Thanks to Brexit, the common wisdom is that this is the best time to buy stuff online on UK sites. This means that with shared shipping we could get some very affordable purchases. What say you?

fyi From: kictanet [mailto:kictanet-bounces+awatila=yahoo.co.uk@lists.kictanet.or.ke] On Behalf Of Grace Mutung'u (Bomu) via kictanet Sent: Tuesday, July 5, 2016 7:28 PM To: awatila(a)yahoo.co.uk Cc: Grace Mutung'u (Bomu) <nmutungu(a)gmail.com> Subject: Re: [kictanet] [nairobilug] Draft National ICT policy Interesting developments Alex. My initial reaction after reading the Bill is, questions questions questions: First of all, why would anyone conceive such an idea? To cure what problem? How will it better society as a whole? If indeed there was a problem to be addressed, couldn't the same have been dealt with in the policy process first? Assuming this Bill emanated from the Ministry, why would the Ministry undertake a policy review process and at the same time undertake a legal process to regulate the profession? And why is regulation of ICT professionals not even mentioned in the draft policy? We are always ready to engage and I am shocked to have learnt of the process so far in the day. Or did ICT professionals have a processes the outcome of which is this Bill? Speaking of a profession, what is the ICT profession? I see the Bill has attempted a definition at section 2 but isn't ICTs the most dynamic and cross cutting "profession" we have? Was there a study done to support such a disruptive regulation of the profession? Are there other countries that regulate their geeks this much? So what informed this legislation? Think of all the young people who eke a living from ICT related businesses. Why would anyone want to subject all these youth, together with those graduating from colleges and universities to one more hurdle before they can start working? Can't we leave it to the market to separate the very good practitioners from the average ones? I do not understand the Kenyan obsession with ever regulating professions. What I know is that it is expensive for parents to perpetually pay fees before their (overgrown) children can finally get employment. It is also an additional cost to businesses as they have to foot the cost of compliance for the various professionals they employ or outsource. Finally, what are our legislative priorities in this sector? I would have thought the Data Protection framework is more urgent and maybe a Cyber Security one. While I did not intend to comment on the contents of the Bill, I can't help but notice that one ICT Association of Kenya will have the arduous task of appointing five (out of nine) people to the Council that will regulate professionals (Section 4). Pray tell, who is this association?

Many thanks to everyone who has contributed to today's topic. Feel free to continue contributing to previous discussions. The Background: Now that we have discussed most of the issues, it is time to look at the governance framework for the same. Traditionally, the key governance actors have been the ICT Parliamentary Committees, the ICT Ministry, the National Communication Secretariat (NCS), the ICT regulator, the ICT Authority, the ICT (Multimedia) Appeals Tribunal. The market players have been the Operators, Postal Agency, Courier Services, Application Service Providers. Have these entities worked for use or do we want to delete, add or restructures some of them? Is there a ned to define specific roles for Professional bodies, Civil Society and others in the ICT space? What are the legal & regulatory gaps we find moving forward? -- Barrack O.

CHEAPEST SHIPPING COMPANY FROM USA TO KENYA
by Ian Kipchirchir Kosgei 01 Jul '16

01 Jul '16

Hi Guyz, about this issue I personally opt for African Salihya located in Eastleigh for Freight coz the charge minimum 10kg n rate is $10/kg. No handling fees n other duties. I have some items am expecting this weekend and I already have a clue what I am paying with no hidden charges. If you need a contact of one of their agents situated in Texas see me offline, who you can even chat via WhatsApp for any clarifications. Air is 6days, sea freight is 45days but much cheaper.

Draft National ICT Policy Discussions Day 8 of 10: Emerging Issues ( Big Data, Bitcoin, Internet of Things)
by Barrack Otieno 01 Jul '16

01 Jul '16

Day 8 of 10: * Internet of Things, M2M * Net Neutrality & OTT * Big Data * Virtual Money/BlockChains The Background: Internet of Things is a vision (now a reality) of physical objects (machines, vehicles, buildings, etc) fitted with sensors that allow them to communicate with each other. The smart-city concept envisions sensors continuously reporting status (e.g Traffic status, Pollution Status, Maintenance Status) of the different objects to allow for efficient management response. A lot of data exchanges arises hence the term Big Data with its associated data analytics requirements. Meanwhile, Virtual Money/Currency (Bitcoin, etc) threatens to disrupt the need for a centralised banking institutions. Over The Top (Skype, Twitter, FB, Youtube) have been around longer but the need to regulate or NOT to regulate them continues to be debated. Given recent developments on the KiCTANET list on Virtual money what should our position on these and other emerging issues be from a policy perspective ? is there need to embrace the issues? Your comments are welcome -- Barrack O. Otieno +254721325277 +254733206359 Skype: barrack.otieno PGP ID: 0x2611D86A

Draft National ICT Policy Discussions Day 6 of 10: How to Accelerate eGovt Services
by Barrack Otieno 29 Jun '16

29 Jun '16

Listers, Many thanks to those who have contributed to day 4 and day 5. The threads are still open provided you respond under the correct thread. We also encourage listers to edit the policy directly on the Jadili platform http://jadili.ictpolicy.org/docs/kenya-ict-policy. Today we focus on the following topics: *eHealth, eAgriculture, eTransport, eGovt, eLearning *ICT regional (county) incentives) *ICTs in Society, Culture The Background Government is the single biggest consumers of ICT goods and services. A highly digitised government operation not only improves transparency and accountability but can accelerate ICT opportunities for the local ICT enterprises dealing in software development, system integration, equipment resellers amongst others. What are the bottlenecks around eGovernment? Other than Huduma Centers, KRA and bit of NTSA, there seems to be very little ICTs in other government departments and agencies. What poliices and strategies can unlock the full potential of eGovt? Send in your views Today. -- Barrack O. Otieno +254721325277 +254733206359 Skype: barrack.otieno PGP ID: 0x2611D86A

Draft National ICT Policy Discussions Day 4 of 10: How to enhance Universal Service & Access
by Barrack Otieno 28 Jun '16

28 Jun '16

Listers, We inadvertently skipped the day 4 discussion since it was to be done over the weekend (Saturday 25 June 2016). As such we will back track so that we can tackle the topics which are very important. Today we focus on the following topics *Universal Access (Infrastructure) *Universal Service (PWD) *Affordable Internet broadband Services *Affordable User Devices *Public e-Literacy The Background Universal service principles are based on the fact that all citizens are entitled to basic communication rights. In other words, the government is obliged to ensure that communication signals reach all Kenyans, irrespective of their income levels, remote localities, lack of (e)literacy and/or disabilities (e.g. the blind/deaf/etc). There was recent access-gap study commissioned by the regulator which confirmed that a large number of Kenyan localities are underserved http://www.nation.co.ke/oped/blogs/dot9/walubengo/-/2274560/3155384/-/l3vdw…. How can we change the situation? Thank you -- Barrack O. Otieno +254721325277 +254733206359 Skype: barrack.otieno PGP ID: 0x2611D86A

#JTLExit Disappointed Skunks

Dear Skunks, Apparently a lot of us who are on JTL FAIBA service are dissatisfied and most us feel that the inconsistencies and ironical rudeness / arrogance by their customer service teams has left a bitter taste in our mouth. We like to support our own, but we also detest those who feel we do not matter and hence we are on twitter trying to get JTL to rectify or else #JTLExit by skunk customers will take effect. Anyone from JTL here please tell your management that our members are not happy and they better start sorting them out one at a time . Please tweet your concerns with #JTLExit Concerned Captain..

Fwd: Restoring trust in financial services
by Mbugua Njihia 27 Jun '16

27 Jun '16

Sometimes we complicate things in a bid to increase their perceived value and charge a premium. The financial services sector has effectively used the complexity smoke screen to much success for decades making us shy way from demanding better services and transparency. To restore trust in the sector we need to follow the money in real time - http://www.mbuguanjihia.com/business/restoring-trust-financial-services.html ᐧ ᐧ

Re: [Skunkworks] Daily Nation ePaper - Download Script [Linux/OSX]
by Paul Korir 24 Jun '16

24 Jun '16

I'm not sure I agree... Two reasons: 1. Nation switched their ePaper provider to the current provider. The previous provider (an IT company based in India) was leaky and very many eyeballs got a hold of the PDF version. You could argue that this was part of their strategy. The current provider seems to be more secure implying to me (at least) that security is a factor. 2. Not too long ago they actually stopped providing PDF copies because of copyright infringement. They reinstated it shortly after maybe because of a loud outcry from their subscribers. In fact, immediately after they restored them, PDFs would download with a watermark of your username (your email). They later removed them which makes me suspect that there are invisible watermarks that can inform them which account is leaking their copy then possibly blocking only those accounts (I'm only speculating... I really don't know). Overall, the bigger concern is that we as tech creatives (sources of copy) should appreciate the importance of upholding other's right to copy because we will benefit from such an environment in the long run. Turning a blind eye is not a way to go. I think this is critical.

Fwd: [kictanet] Day 1:-How to Develop ICT infrastructure
by Mwendwa Kivuva 22 Jun '16

22 Jun '16

*How to Develop ICT infrastructure (Day 1-Wed 22nd June 2016)* *telecoms, broadcast, broadband internet, postal) *Investment incentives (FDI,Equity Shares) *Open Access *Infrastructure Sharing (Masts, Ducts, Wayleave etc) *Spectrum Management *Postal/National Addressing System *Data Centers, IXPs, CDN --- So further to the welcome message below, today, we kick off the discussion with Infrastructure issues in mind. Basically think about what needs to be done to ensure a robust telco/internet, broadcast, postal environment from an infrastructure perspective. The subtopics above being guidelines. Contentious issues have been around foreign direct investments with respect to the policy requirement for local equity shareholding. Should this be mandatory and at what % - keeping in mind that equity share holding requires local investors who may not always be keen in keeping money in ICTs (preferring traditional destinations of Land/Real estate). On Open Access, how far do we want this to go? In mombasa we have the submarine landing points implementing open access where SEACOM, TEAMS, LION, EASSy etc are open to any interested player and this has worked well. Do we want to see this principle practiced domestically in terms of infrastructure sharing (Masts, Fiber Ducts, and even Spectrum?) Finally what role do we see Postal Kenya taking within the ICT ecosystem, particularly with regard to the lack of the National Addressing system - which analysts feel is holding back the ecommerce potential. Lets hear your views today since tomorrow we move onto INFO-structure issues. walu. ------------------------------ *From:* Walubengo J <jwalu(a)yahoo.com> *To:* KICTAnet ICT Policy Discussions <kictanet(a)lists.kictanet.or.ke> *Sent:* Wednesday, June 22, 2016 10:25 AM *Subject:* ICT Policy Discussions:-Overview, Thematic Topics (Day 1 to Day 10) Greetings Listers, As promised on monday, we kick off the discussions today and would like to share the general flow and how we shall move.
