Mobile CCIE Lab Now Available in Nairobi, Kenya
by John Gitau 02 Sep '13

02 Sep '13

[image: http://www.cisco.com/web/europe/images/email/campaign/header-plain-space.jpg] **** *Mobile CCIE Lab Available in Nairobi, Kenya, from November 18-22, 2013*** To address the urgent need for certified IT professionals, and to offer more convenient testing, Cisco has developed the Mobile CCIE Lab for qualified candidates who are ready to take their CCIE Routing and Switching exam or CCIE Security exam.**** *We encourage you to take advantage of the mobile lab scheduled in Nairobi, Kenya, from November 18-22, 2013.* The CCIE mobile testing lab will allow qualified candidates to more easily and quickly take the exam, reducing the waiting time, effort, and costs accrued by having to travel to take the exam. The eight-hour lab exam tests your ability to configure actual equipment and get the network running in a timed-test situation. There will be 30 seats available for the CCIE Routing and Switching exam and 5 seats available for the CCIE Security exam.**** Apart from the Cisco Certified Architect (CCAr) certification, the Cisco CCIE certifications are the highest level of achievement for network professionals. Less than 3 percent of all Cisco certified professionals earn their CCIE certification.**** *Click here<http://mkto-trk.cisco.com/trk?t=2&mid=NTY0LVdIVi0zMjM6NjE0NDoyNDI1OjQxODg6M…>to register for the CCIE Routing and Switching exam or CCIE Security exam in Nairobi. ***** For information on registering for a Mobile CCIE Lab event or for additional information about the Mobile CCIE Lab program, visit the Cisco Learning Network<http://mkto-trk.cisco.com/trk?t=2&mid=NTY0LVdIVi0zMjM6NjE0NDoyNDI1OjQxODg6M…> . **** ------------------------------ ******** [image: Facebook Fan Page]<http://mkto-trk.cisco.com/trk?t=2&mid=NTY0LVdIVi0zMjM6NjE0NDoyNDI1OjQxODg6M…> **** [image: Follow LearningatCisco on Twitter]<http://mkto-trk.cisco.com/trk?t=2&mid=NTY0LVdIVi0zMjM6NjE0NDoyNDI1OjQxODg6M…> **** [image: LearningatCisco at LinkedIn]<http://mkto-trk.cisco.com/trk?t=2&mid=NTY0LVdIVi0zMjM6NjE0NDoyNDI1OjQxODg6M…> **** Please do not reply to this email for support.

SAP Licenses
by Andrew Kiptoo 02 Sep '13

02 Sep '13

We have 10 to 15 licenses that would wish to transfer to an educational institution or NGO that may require them. This would mean that the educational institution shall now be responsible for paying the annual maintenance for the licenses as its a cost that we would not like to be incurring in future. We had acquired the licenses as a packaged deal and now we do not require some of them but SAP requires that we pay for all of them as per an earlier agreement. Please inbox if you interested. Thank you. Regards, Andrew K

DSTV Installer / Cabler

Hi Guys, Looking for someone who can come to my house ASAP today and re-align my DSTV dish, and in addition, wire my brand new home entertainment system. Need to come with his own cables, aprox 100 metres of the so called "speaker wire". The entertainment system is rated 1000w - each speaker is 3 ohms rated impedance - I think that should help in judging the gauge of the wires , neat terminations (6 pairs - 2 for each speaker on 5:1 config) since we will have to cut the existing speaker wires to extend them, wall wire holders etc, basically a home structured cabling expert. Contact me off-list if interested. J

Idea: Banking App idea
by kris njoroge 29 Aug '13

29 Aug '13

Can't seem to find the initial email but this is not my original idea am just adding on to it. The basic idea is using your phone either smart or dumb or any device that has a mobile phone no you can make payments directly to anybody or entity using there phone number. So what would be the difference with the present system. One, it would be open, anybody who has a bank ac in whatever bank can have access to the system and can make and receive deposits directly into there bank accounts. Payments and deposits are done into your bank ac in real time. Key advantage is you don't have to withdraw to make payments. The implementation of this system would be endless eg landlords, chamas etc. The downside is that the banks are not everywhere and might be a challenge to get access to the funds but with the growth of agency banking it could work. Maybe, done the line we could come up with our own bank cards that are recognised in East Africa, cheaper than Visa/MasterCard that the masses could use as we move towards plastic money... -- * if the human brain were so simple that we could understand it, we would be so simple that we couldn't. - Emerson M.

found this insightful ***************************************************************************** TOP OF THE NEWS --FBI and DHS Concerned About Android Vulnerabilities (August 26, 2013) According to an unclassified US government document, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) are concerned about security flaws in the Android operating system. Specifically, the document outlines concerns about threats faced by law enforcement officers and officials who are using devices running older versions of the operating system. The document says, "Android is the world's most widely used mobile operating system and continues to be a primary target for malware attacks due to its open source architecture." It also offers mitigation advice for certain types of threats. http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-57600105-83/android-security-holes-worry-f… http://info.publicintelligence.net/DHS-FBI-AndroidThreats.pdf [Editor's Note (Murray): Ironic.

Hi All, I have an ASP application running in load balanced environment. It is hosted in two servers and a one db. It has a load balancer (content switch) that is replicates activities between both servers. I have scripts that are checking for updated content on both servers, running on the task scheduler. The issue is that the users are being logged out after every five seconds upon logging in, other users cannot log into the system as so. All the timeout and idle time in the web config and IIS7 are okay. I did a session test and the users are not loosing their session IDs. What could be the problem or what is logging the users out?

Working with the new M-Pesa API
by John Doe Smith Kamau KipNg'etich Jones 27 Aug '13

27 Aug '13

Hi guys, I'm sure y'all have received the attached resources from safcom. Now, I can normally parse the wsdl files with php, and get a list of methods described in those wsdl files. Its normally a two line thing as follows: <?php $client = new *SoapClient*('QueueTimeoutNofication_1_0.wsdl'); *var_dump*($client->__getFunctions()); ... it aint working though. If anyone has better tools, please dump the methods detailed by the wsdl file here for all to see and admire (as opposed to giving me a link to http://lmgtfy.com/ :-D ... that won't help spread the knowledge). It may help to note that one has to be within safaricom's (or mpesa's) VPN to actually make the soap calls. It may also help to note that they probably use that microsoft WCF (windows communication foundation) web-services thingy, I've found that the web-service infrastructure can be easily set to run on two ports: one port for the modern WCF web service, and another port for "backwards-compatibility" with older standards like soap.... and I hope it already runs in this manner. I need the list of methods to develop some code and apps "by faith", and ask to be joined into the VPN to test them out. Cheers y'all

The scientist involved is actually Prof. Jim Verdee, the former spokesperson and principal designer of the giant super-conducting magnets that make up L.H.C's C.M.S experiment. Had absolutely no idea that he is originally from Kenya: < http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-23809234 > He is also an inductee of the Royal Academy of Sciences < http://cms.web.cern.ch/news/royal-society-makes-jim-virdee-fellow > Martin.

BarCamp 2013
by David Kiania | Asentric Consulting Ltd 27 Aug '13

27 Aug '13

We had a great event yesterday and the turnout quality of presentations and level of engagement was amazing. We heard about: - Waabeh: Online content distribution network Bitcoin: Enhancing financial Inclusion Kenyan's plans to have a space program. BeerShara: Role of beer discussions towards innovation Able Wireless: Powering Video on demand content distribution, among many others. In the plenary session clearly the hottest topics of discussion revolved around: - Content and Commercialization and "Who Stole my Idea" :-) We have created a Google+ Page with all the images https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/114319177348371136996/114319177348371136996/p… I was impressed to meet a journalist sent from der spiegel in Germany specifically to cover the event, as well a Channel France. Our job board was very active and I heard of some people who either got interviews or job offers, that is what BarCamp is all about. Finally, Let me take this chance to thank: iHub and Nailab for Hosting, Internet Society and Linux Professionals Institute for their generous financial sponsorship, The Organizing team and all 300+ who showed up without you this wouldn't have happened Let's keep innovating and hope something great comes from this discussions.

HELB Site - By far the worst in the Planet
by ndungu stephen 26 Aug '13

26 Aug '13

So we are at home trying to fill the Helb Loan forms - which HELB has forced everyone to fill online.. Eight hours later - no success. Over application of login securities and over application of timeouts. Imagine people out of Nairobi with poor network ? Why oh why did the designers do this without testing ? Anyone knows who designed this part of the site: http://helb.co.ke/registration/login.jsp ???

The Ultimate Cheat Sheet For Starting And Running Your Business
by Alex Nyika 25 Aug '13

25 Aug '13

JAMES ALTUCHER<http://techcrunch.com/2013/08/24/the-ultimate-cheat-sheet-for-starting-and-…> posted yesterday 98 Comments *Editor’s note:** James Altucher <http://jamesaltucher.com/> is an investor, programmer, author, and several-times entrepreneur<http://www.jamesaltucher.com/2011/01/how-i-screwed-yasser-arafat-out-of-2mm…>. His latest book, “Choose Yourself!”<http://www.amazon.com/Choose-Yourself-ebook/dp/B00CO8D3G4/ref=cm_cr_pr_prod…> **(foreword by Dick Costolo, CEO of Twitter) came out on June 3. Follow him on Twitter @jaltucher <http://twitter.com/jaltucher>.* This is going be a bullet FAQ on starting a business. No joke. If you’re a lawyer, feel free to disagree with me, so you can charge someone your BS fees to give the same advice. If you can think of anything to add, please do so. I might be missing things. If you want to argue with me, feel free. I might be wrong on any of the items below. There are many types of business. Depending on your business, some of these won’t apply. All of these questions come from questions I’ve been asked. The rules are: I’m going to give no explanations. Just listen to me. *1) C Corp or S Corp or LLC?* C-Corp if you ever want to take on investors or sell to another company. *2) What state should you incorporate in?* Delaware. *3) Should founders vest?* Yes, over a period of four years. On any change of control the vesting speeds up. *4) Should you go for venture capital money?* First build a product, then get a customer, then get friends-and-family money (or money from revenues which is cheapest of all) and then think about raising money. But only then. Don’t be an amateur. *5) Should you patent your idea?* Get customers first. Patent later. Don’t talk to lawyers until the last possible moment. *6) Should you require venture capitalists to sign NDAs?* No. Nobody is going to steal your idea. *7) How much equity should you give a partner?* Divide things up into these categories: manage the company; raise the money; had the idea; brings in the revenues; built the product (or performs the services). Divide up in equal portions. ***8) Should you have a technical co-founder if you are not technical?* No. If you don’t already have a technical co-founder you can always outsource technology and not give up equity. *9) Should you barter equity for services?* No. You get what you pay for. *10) How do you market your app?* Friends and then word of mouth. *11) Should you build a product?* Maybe. But first see if, manually, your product works. Then think about providing it as a service. Then productize the commonly used services. Too many people do this in reverse and then fail. *12) How much dilution is too much dilution?* If someone wants to give you money, then take it. The old saying, 100 percent of nothing is worth less than 1 percent of something. *13) Do you listen to venture capitalist?* Yes, of course. They gave you money. But then don’t do anything they ask you to do. *14) What if nobody seems to be buying your product?* Then change to a service and do whatever anyone is willing to pay for using the skills you developed while making your product. “You’re gonna rattle the stars, you are.” *15) If a client wants you to hire their friend or they won’t give you the business (e.g. like a bribe) what should you do?* Always do the ethical thing: Hire the friend and get the client’s business. *16) What do you do when a customer rejects you in a B2B business?* Stay in touch once a month. Never be angry. *17) In a B2C business?* Release fast. Add new features every week. *18) How do you get new clients?* The best new clients are old clients. Always offer new services. Think every day of new services to offer old clients. *19) What’s the best thing to do for a new client?* Over-deliver for the first 100 days. Then you will never lose them. *20) What if your client asks you to do something not in your business plan? * Do it, or find someone who can do it, even if it’s a competitor. *21) Should I ever focus on SEO?* No. *22) Should I do social media marketing?* No. *23) Should I ever talk badly about a partner of an employee even though they are awful?* Never gossip. Always be straight with the culprit. *24) I have lots of ideas. How do I pick the right one?* Do as many ideas as possible. The right idea will pick you. *25) What is the sign of an amateur?* – Asking for an NDA. – Trying to raise VC money before product or customers. – Having fights with partners in the first year. Fire them or split before anything gets out of control. – Worrying about dilution. – Trying to get Mark Cuban to invest because “this would be great for the Dallas Mavericks.” – Asking people you barely know to introduce you to Mark Cuban. – Asking people for five minutes of their time. It’s never five minutes, so you are establishing yourself as a liar. – Having a PowerPoint that doesn’t show me arbitrage. I need to know that there is a small chance there is a 100x return on money. – Catch 22: showing people there’s a small chance there’s 100x return on their money. The secret of salesmanship is getting through the Catch 22. – Rejecting a cash offer for your company when you have almost no revenues. Hello Friendster and Foursquare. *26) What is the sign of a professional?* – Going from bullshit product to services to product to SaaS product. (Corollary: the reverse is amateur hour). – Cutting costs every day. – Selling every day, every minute. – When you have a billion in revenues, staying focused. When you have zero revenues, staying unfocused and coming up with new ideas every day. – Saying “no” to people who are obvious losers. – Saying “yes” to any meeting at all with someone who is an obvious winner. – Knowing how to distinguish between winners and losers (subject of an entire other post but in your gut you know — trust me). *27) When should I hire people full time?* When you have revenues *28) How long does it take to raise money?* In a GREAT business, six months. In a mediocre business, infinity. *29) Should I get an office?* No, not unless you have revenues. *30) Should I do market research?* Yes, find one customer who DEFINITELY, without a doubt, will buy a service from you. Note that I don’t say buy your product, because your initial product is always not what the customer wanted. *31) Should I pay taxes?* No. You should always reinvest your money and operate at a loss. *32) Should I pay dividends?* See above. *33) What should the CEO salary be?* No more than 2x your lowest employee if you are not profitable. This even assumes you are funded. If you are not funded your salary should be zero until your revenues can pay your salary last. Important RULE: the CEO salary is the last expense paid in every business. *34) When should I fire employees?* When you have fewer than six months’ burn in the bank and you aren’t getting revenues growing fast enough. *36) What other reasons should one fire an employee?* – When they gossip. – When they don’t over-deliver constantly. – When they ask for a raise because they think they are making below industry standard. – When they talk badly about a client. – When they have an attitude. *37) When should you give a raise?* Rarely. *38) How big should the employee option pool be?* 15 to 20 percent. *39) How much do advisers get?* One-fourth of 1 percent. Advisers are useless. Don’t even have an advisory board. *40) How much do board members get?* Nothing. They should all be investors. If they aren’t an investor, then one-half of 1 percent. *41) What if one client is almost all of my revenues?* Treat them very nicely. Don’t forget the Christmas gift basket. *42) What’s the best way to sell anything?* Show arbitrage: If they pay X now they are buying something worth X * Y. That is the ONLY way to sell. *43) What is the best way to sell anything?* Part II: fear and agitation. Get them afraid (the world is falling apart). Get them agitated (this is the only way to stop it). *44) What’s the best way to talk about your competition in a meeting?* Use “choice ambiguity” (Google it). Say, “all of my competition is great. I wouldn’t even know how to choose among them.” *45) What’s the best way to value a company?* Ask yourself (no BS): How much would it cost to recreate the technology, services, brand and customers you have already built. Then quadruple it and see what people would pay. *46) Should I ever worry about the news or the economy?* Absolutely not. The best businesses are started in horrible economies. *47) What happened to all of my friends?* You don’t have anymore friends. *48) How do I charge more for my services?* Itemize as finely as possible and charge for each item. *49) Do I charge per hour or per project or per month?* First per project, then per-month maintenance. *50) How do I prepare for a meeting?* Know everything about the clients: competition, employees, industry. Over-read everything. Read everything. *51) What is the only effective email marketing?* Highly targeted email marketing written by professional copywriters, and the email list is made up of people who have bought similar services in the past six months. *51a) Corollary: If you have zero skills as a copywriter then everything you write will be boring.* *52) Should I give stuff for free?* Maybe. But don’t expect free customers to turn into paying customers. Your free customers actually hate you and want everything from you for nothing, so you better have a different business model. *53) Should I have schwag?* No. *54) Should I go to SXSW?* No. *55) Should I go to industry parties and meetups?* No. *56) Should I blog?* Yes. You must. Blog about everything going wrong in your industry. Blog personal stories that you think will scare away customers. They won’t. Customers will be attracted to honesty. *57) Should I care about margins?* No. Care about revenues. *58) Should I spin-off this unrelated idea into a separate business?* No. Make one business *great*. Throw everything in it. Do DBAs to identify different ideas. *59) Should I hire people because I can travel on a seven-hour plane ride with them?* Don’t be an idiot. If anything, hire people the opposite of you. Or else who will you delegate to? *60) When should I say “no” to a client?* When they approach you. *61) When should I say “yes” to a client?* Every other conversation you ever have with them after that initial “no.” *63) Should I negotiate the best terms with a VC?* No. Pick the VC you like. Times are going to get tough at some point, and you need to be able to have a heart-to-heart with them. *64) Should I even start a business?* No. Make money. Build shit. Then start a business. *65) Should I give employees bonuses for a job well done?* No. Give them gifts but not bonuses. *66) What should I do at Christmas?* Send everyone you know a gift basket. *68) When should I give up on my idea?* When you can’t generate revenues, customers, interest, for *two months*. *69) Why didn’t the VC or customer call back after we met yesterday and it was great?* They hate you. *70) Why didn’t the above call back after we met yesterday and it was great? * “Yesterday” was like a split second ago for them and a lifetime for you. There’s the law of entrepreneurial relativity. Figure out what that means and live by it. *71) Should I hire a professional CEO?* No. Never. *72) Should I hire a head of sales?* No. The founder is the head of sales until at least 10 million in sales. *73) My client called at 3 a.m. Should I tell him to respect boundaries?* No. You no longer have any boundaries. *74) I made a mistake. Should I tell the client?* Yes. Tell him everything that happened. You’re his partner. Not the guy that hides things and then lies about them. *75) My investors want me to focus.* Should I listen to them? No. Diversify in every way you can. *76) I personally need money. Should I borrow from the business?* Only if the business can survive for another six months no matter what. *77) I just bought two companies. Should I put them under the same roof and start consolidating?* No. Not for at least two years. *78) Should I quit my job?* No. Only if you have salary that can pay you for six months at your startup. Aim to quit your job but don’t quit your job. *79) What do I do when I have doubts?* Ask your customers if your doubts are trustworthy. *80) I have too much competition. What should I do?* Competition is good. It shows you have a decent business model. Now simply outperform them. *82) I’m starting my business, but I have relationship problems. What should I do?* Get rid of your relationship. *83) Should I expand geographically as quickly as possible?* No. Get all the business you can in your local area. Travel is too expensive time-wise. *84) How do I keep clients from yelling at me?* Document every meeting line-by-line, and send your document to the client right after the meeting. *85) I undercharged. What should I do about it?* Nothing. Charge the next client more. *86) I have an idea for an app but don’t know how to execute. What should I do?* Draw every screen and function. Then outsource someone to make the drawings look like they come from a real app. Then outsource the development of the app. Get a specific schedule. Micromanage the schedule. *87) I want to buy a franchise in X. Is that a good idea?* Only buy a franchise if it’s underperforming and you can see how to improve it. Don’t buy on future hopes; only buy on past mistakes. *88) I want to buy a franchise in X. Is that a good idea?* Rely on the three Ds: Death, Debt, Divorce. When someone dies, the heirs will sell a business cheap. When someone is in debt, they will sell a business cheap. When someone divorces, the couple usually has to sell a business cheap. IMPORTANT: even if the trends in the industry are in your favor, you CANNOT predict the future. But you can use the past to help you get a deal. Always get a deal. *89) I have a lot of traffic but no revenues. What should I do?* Sell your business. There’s only one Google. (Well, there are two or three Googles: Facebook, Twitter … ) *90) I have no traffic. How do I get traffic?* Shut down your business. *91) Should I hire a PR firm?* No. Do guerilla marketing. Read “Newsjacking” and “Trust me I’m Lying.” PR firms screw up from beginning to end. The first time I hired a PR firm, instead of sending me my contract they accidentally sent me their contract for “Terry Bradshaw.” He was paying $12,000 a month. Was it worth it for him? *92) My competition is doing better than me across every metric. What should I do?* Don’t be afraid to instantly shut down your business and start over if you can’t sell it. Time is a horrible thing to waste. *93) I’ve been in business now for six years, and my business doesn’t seem to be growing. It’s even slowing down. What should I do?* Come up with 10 ideas a day about new services your business can offer. Try to get a customer for each new service. I know one business in this situation that refuses to do this because their VCs are telling them to focus more. You’re going to go out of business otherwise. *94) Is it unethical to run my business from the side while still at my job? * I don’t know. Did God tell you that in a dream? *95) My customer called me at 5 p.m. on a Friday and said, “We have to talk.” And now I can’t talk to him until Monday. What does it mean?* It means you’re fired. *96) XYZ just sold for $100 million. Should I be valued at that? I’m better! * No, you should shut up. *97) Investors want to meet me and customers want to meet me. Who do I meet if I need money?* You should know the answer to that by now. *98) If an acquirer asks me why I want to sell, what should I say?* That you feel it would be easier for you to grow in the context of a bigger company that has experienced the growing pains you are just starting to go through. That 1+1 = 45. *99) I just started my business. What should I do?* Sell it as fast as possible (applies in 99 percent of situations). Sell for cash. *100) I can change the world with my technology.* No you can’t. *100a) Corollary: Don’t smoke crack.* *101) If you’re so smart why aren’t you a billionaire?* Because I sold my businesses early, lost everything, started new businesses, sold them, and got lucky every now and then. *101a) Corollary: These rules don’t always apply. But like Kurt Vonnegut said, “if you want to break the rules of grammar, first learn the rules of grammar.”* *RULE #infinity:* You create your luck by being healthy and not regretting the past or being anxious about the future. -- Kind regards, Alex Nyika

IP issues
by Okechukwu 21 Aug '13

21 Aug '13

Hi All, Am having an issue that has perplexed me so much am now doubting my entire IP knowledge. I have to also say that I have done this setup a numerous amount of times before. I have a server for monitoring (cacti) and slots well with a public IP address A.A.A.A working fine and monitoring all devices perfectly. I have a separate management VLAN on a different switch with all private IP's 192.168.10.0/24. Now, what baffling me is that immediately I assigned the second network interface of the server to this private IP VLAN, my server loses all incoming connections to its public IP A.A.A.A although the server itself can go out and access all other services (Internet, SNMP) perfectly. Maybe its something am missing, but this has stuck with me since Thursday last week! Anyone with any pointers? ./Ok3ch

[ANN] devops and other positions in Nairobi
by Adam Nelson 21 Aug '13

21 Aug '13

Hello All, I've already reached out to some of you regarding the fact that Kili, a startup cloud infrastructure company built on OpenStack, is finally in a position to hire. Here is some information about the open positions. Feel free to forward this email to friends. Cheers, Adam --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Open Team Positions Kili is a funded startup focused on building cloud infrastructure to help local developers focused on East Africa to deploy their apps close to their end-users. We are building this solution to support fast, high quality apps that are the future of the economy. We will be a core part of the startup ecosystem in Nairobi and anybody who joins the team will find this to be one of the most edifying roles of their career. Applicants should send a cover letter and resume to Adam Nelson ( adam(a)kili.io) Plain text with minimal formatting is fine and the primary focus is on a well-written explanation of what you will bring to the team. Anybody who sends a cover letter will get a response. ### Front-end Web Developer Integrating Bootstrap themes, editing LESS or Sass files, doing the latest things with HTML5 or CSS3 … these things should excite you. We'll NEVER make you support IE9 or any old-fashioned garbage like that. You're going to focus on highly refined responsive designs that delight the customer. This position leans towards design so if you have a background in typography, or color theory, or fine arts - those are all pluses. ### Python Developer Writing extensible code, deploying every day, working on a high quality codebase … these things should excite you. We'll NEVER make you develop low quality code and pair programming will be part of the process. This position absolutely requires knowledge of UNIX fundamentals and comfort on the CLI. You will learn a ton more about working effectively on the command line and managing Linux but it's expected that you are already proficient in these areas. Interest in other languages like Go is a plus. ### DevOps Engineer Deploying systems via a configuration management solution, managing Linux kernel versions, juggling network interfaces and VLANs … these things should excite you. We'll NEVER make you work on a 3 year old OS or jump through hoops to backport a fix that's already been addressed in a current stable release. We're forward thinking and want you to be too. It goes without say that the successful candidate for this position will be spending virtually all of their time in a Linux terminal or a text editor. Advanced knowledge of Linux and storage concepts is critical. If you don't have this knowledge but are extremely confident that you can learn quickly, let us know. ### Choose Your Own Position We can't do it alone. If you have a special background, aren't capable of filling the other roles, and feel that you can bring something to the team, let us know. You could be the one who acts as a catalyst for the rest of us. You should definitely apply to join - it might just be a great partnership. ## Benefits We work in one of the best and newest spaces for tech work in Nairobi (88mph) and aside from being part of an amazing startup team, you will also benefit from the larger community here with regular startup mentors giving talks as well as many other startup teams with which you can interact and learn. You will also be supplied with a budget for high quality gear so you can get high quality work done. All team members will be expected to contribute back to the community via open source projects, speaking at events, and contributing to the company blog. -- Kili.io - OpenStack for Africa: kili.io Musings: twitter.com/varud <https://twitter.com/varud> About Adam: www.linkedin.com/in/adamcnelson

SIP Trunk Providers - KE
by Odhiambo Washington 20 Aug '13

20 Aug '13

I have been meaning to post this, but kept forgetting (or procrastinating). I did get SIP Trunks from Iway Africa. The service is managed by one, Vincent Thuo who, IMHO, offers excellent service & support. The guy understands his game, I must say. My Internet connection is with Access Kenya, but that does not affect the quality of the voice, both local and International. The monthly fees are quite reasonable (well, I don't have anyone else locally to compare with) and the destination charges too seem reasonable to me. Well, charges aside, the service is super. Running without hitches. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 "I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler."
