The internet is about to get a lot biggger - whatdomain.org
by Kivuva 05 Aug '13

05 Aug '13

Apologies for cross-posting: Check http://www.whatdomain.org/ The WEB's new neighborhoods Over the next two years more than 1,400 new top-level domains will come online, each a new neighborhood. Think you have places to go now? Wait until you see what’s coming. Open Neighborhoods Some new top-level domains will invite anyone to register a domain for any purpose. Need a laugh or want to spread some laughter? Visit a *.lol* website, or set up your own. Interested in motherhood? *.mom* is there for you. And there will be hundreds more to choose from. Internationalized Neighborhoods Why let the Roman alphabet have all the fun? This new domain era will see the first top-level domains in numerous other languages and there will be a موقع. for .みんな in the .世界. The World Wide Web is about to start living up to its name. Geographic Neighborhoods We've discussed country code domains like *.ca* or *.de*. We’ll soon be able to get even more specific with domains related to a specific geography such as a city (visit*.boston*) or region (wine*.aquitaine*). Specialized Neighborhoods Some of the new top-level domains are intended for websites created by members of specific professions, communities, or interests. Looking for a lawyer? A website ending in *.esq* will signify a certified legal professional. Similarly, *.ngo* will be reserved for non-governmental organizations’ websites, and *.catholic* and *.shia* for sites representing those religious communities. Gated Neighborhoods Numerous companies have applied for closed top-level domains and will have complete control over what websites to make available on them. These are usually recognized brand names, like *.montblanc* or *.gucci*. When you visit a website on a closed top-level domain, you can be certain that it’s authorized and overseen by that brand. The new generation of top-level domains will start launching in the fall of 2013 and continue rolling out through 2015. We appreciate your time and interest in learning about this major change coming to the Internet and hope that you’ll find some great new places online, and maybe a new home of your own. ______________________ Mwendwa Kivuva twitter.com/lordmwesh google ID | Skype ID: lordmwesh

Fwd: [Chapter-delegates] NEWS RELEASE: Internet Society Board of Trustees Calls on the Global Internet Community to Stand Together to Support Open Internet Access, Freedom, and Privacy
by Barrack Otieno 04 Aug '13

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Wende Cover <cover(a)isoc.org> Date: Sun, Aug 4, 2013 at 6:44 PM Subject: [Chapter-delegates] NEWS RELEASE: Internet Society Board of Trustees Calls on the Global Internet Community to Stand Together to Support Open Internet Access, Freedom, and Privacy To: "chapter-delegates(a)elists.isoc.org" <chapter-delegates(a)elists.isoc.org> Internet Society Board of Trustees Calls on the Global Internet Community to Stand Together to Support Open Internet Access, Freedom, and Privacy**** ** ** Fundamental ideals of the Internet are under threat**** ** ** [Berlin, Germany, 4 August 2013] – The Internet Society Board of Trustees during its meeting in Berlin, Germany today called on the global Internet community to stand together in support of open Internet access, freedom, and privacy. Recently exposed information about government Internet surveillance programs is a wake-up call for Internet users everywhere – the fundamental ideals of the Internet are under threat. **** ** ** The Internet Society Board of Trustees believes that government Internet surveillance programs create unacceptable risks for the future of a global, interoperable, and open Internet. Robert Hinden, Chair of the Board of Trustees, stated, “Berlin is a city where freedom triumphed over tyranny. Human and technological progress are not based on building walls, and we are confident that the human ideals of communication and creativity will always route around these kinds of attempts to constrain them. We are especially disappointed that the very governments that have traditionally supported a more balanced role in Internet governance are consciously and deliberately hosting massive Internet surveillance programs.” **** ** ** In the brief period since these surveillance programs were revealed to the general public, the Internet Society Board stated there are already chilling effects on global trust and confidence on the Internet ecosystem. The fact that information about surveillance programs is emerging primarily from countries with a long history of supporting the open Internet is particularly disturbing. As the next billion people come online, these countries should be expected to demonstrate leadership in support of the values that underpin the global Internet. In the wake of these announcements, the Internet Society encourages a return to multistakeholder cooperation to preserve the benefits of the Internet ecosystem for all. **** ** ** The Internet Society Board of Trustees expects governments to fully engage with their citizens in an open dialogue on how to reconcile national security and the fundamental rights of individuals. Security should not be at the cost of individual rights and, in this context, the Board welcomes the initiative by some civil society organizations to promote "International Principles on the Application of Human Rights to Communications Surveillance." The Internet Society endorses these principles, and emphasizes the importance of proportionality, due process, legality, and transparent judicial oversight. The Internet Society believes that surveillance without any such safeguards risks undermining the sustainability of the open Internet.**** ** ** “In the spirit of the pioneers and early innovators of the Internet that were honored this week at the 2013 Internet Hall of Fame ceremony, we urge the global Internet community to defend against attempts by governments to fragment the Internet either through overt regulation or hidden surveillance programs,” commented Lynn St. Amour, President and CEO of the Internet Society. “We must reassert the global spirit of community that is at the heart of the Internet’s growth and success, and stand firm in our belief that openness and collaboration is the best path forward.” **** ** ** _______________________________________________ As an Internet Society Chapter Officer you are automatically subscribed to this list, which is regularly synchronized with the Internet Society Chapter Portal (AMS): https://portal.isoc.org -- Barrack O.

Hi Solomon.

These guys are taking money like their own.In Tanzania its only worth it loading your phone when on wants to pay for utility.Anything else is a liability.

Fwd: [Chapter-delegates] ANNOUNCEMENT: Internet Society Launches Questionnaire on Multistakeholder Participation in Internet Governance
by Barrack Otieno 02 Aug '13

02 Aug '13

Listers, For information and action. Best Regards ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Konstantinos Komaitis <komaitis(a)isoc.org> Date: Fri, Aug 2, 2013 at 12:44 PM Subject: [Chapter-delegates] ANNOUNCEMENT: Internet Society Launches Questionnaire on Multistakeholder Participation in Internet Governance To: Chapter Delegates <chapter-delegates(a)elists.isoc.org> Internet Society Launches Questionnaire on Multistakeholder Participation in Internet Governance Part of broader dialogue on open and multistakeholder governance for a sustainable Internet [Washington, D.C. and Geneva, Switzerland, 02 August 2013] -- The Internet Society today announced the launch of a survey to gain greater insights into multistakeholder governance perceptions and processes at all levels – national, regional, and international. The questionnaire, http://goo.gl/dGW1tv, is open to all interested participants and is available until 30 September 2013. The survey is one component of the Internet Society’s broader initiative focused on the open and sustainable Internet. While the Internet has proven its success from economic, development, technological, and societal perspectives, its continued growth as a multistakeholder platform cannot be taken for granted. The Internet Society strongly believes that to ensure a sustainable Internet, the Internet must maintain its core characteristics of open, global and interoperable technical standards for innovation; open access and freedom of expression for all users; openness for business and economic progress; based on a collaborative, inclusive, multistakeholder governance model. “The open Internet is challenged on many fronts and from many directions. There are attempts to change the very nature of the Internet to address policy problems in areas such as digital content, human rights, privacy, surveillance, and security,” said Markus Kummer, Vice President of Public Policy, Internet Society. “As technology evolves, as more people come online, as business models shift, and as policy priorities change, the Internet also evolves. These changes will have tremendous implications for the overall sustainability of the open Internet ecosystem. The inclusion of all stakeholders as participants in the Internet’s evolution – this is what we call the multistakeholder governance process – is essential.” The Internet Society questionnaire will gather information on the different practices and understandings of multistakeholder governance. Survey data will be used in publications on the evolution of multistakeholder participation and the Internet Society will incorporate the survey feedback into its preparations for upcoming Internet governance discussions, including the 2013 Internet Governance Forum (IGF), the 2014 ITU World Telecommunication Development Conference (WTDC), and the World Summit on the Information Society Review (WSIS+10). A subsequent phase of the Open and Sustainable Internet initiative will include a call for research papers based on the survey data and engagements to promote the value of open Internet governance. In addition to collecting valuable insights and perspectives, the questionnaire is designed to serve as an informational guide on Internet governance. Constance Bommelaer, Internet Society Senior Director of Global Policy Partnerships, added, “The questions provide background information on key topics, and interactive links enable respondents to learn more about how the Internet works. We hope this survey will empower and encourage participants to engage in the multistakeholder dialogue and let their voices be heard.” About the Internet Society The Internet Society is the trusted independent source for Internet information and thought leadership from around the world. With its principled vision and substantial technological foundation, the Internet Society promotes open dialogue on Internet policy, technology, and future development among users, companies, governments, and other organizations. Working with its members and Chapters around the world, the Internet Society enables the continued evolution and growth of the Internet for everyone.

PHP/MySQL: Is there a better way to count distinct values in a column
by Peter Karunyu 01 Aug '13

01 Aug '13

I have a table with 10 columns, and about 20,000 rows. I want to get the count of the distinct values in 5 of the columns, so normally, I would probably write 5 queries thus: SELECT column_a, count(column_a) FROM my_table GROUP BY column_a; SELECT column_b, count(column_b) FROM my_table GROUP BY column_b; SELECT column_c, count(column_c) FROM my_table GROUP BY column_c; SELECT column_d, count(column_d) FROM my_table GROUP BY column_d; SELECT column_e, count(column_e) FROM my_table GROUP BY column_e; My question is, is there a way I can do this in a more generic/future proof way? Maybe a stored procedure which I just pass the table name to? Or some PHP function which I just give the name of the table to? Ultimate goal is to write just one query to get the above data.

Android development resources
by Peter Karunyu 27 Jul '13

27 Jul '13

I know there are a gazillion android development tutorials out there, but I recently came across a collection of really good ones from Google here http://developer.android.com/training/index.html. What I really liked about it is that the Design<http://developer.android.com/design/index.html>section goes deep into the rationalization behind various UX options, which is pretty good even before one writes a single line of code. Now even noobie Android developers have absolutely NO excuse for producing crappy apps.

Re: [Skunkworks] Kenya Internet Governance Forum Discussions Day 2 : Smart Cities What does the Future Hold
by Barrack Otieno 23 Jul '13

23 Jul '13

Listers, Many thanks to those who have contributed to day 1 discussions, the thread is still open and you can continue with the discourse. Day two will reflect on Smart Cities. Kenya has been billed as Africas Silicon Savana, recently i overheard a conversation that the issue is being overated and that it is not sustainable in the long run, the bone of contention was the Konza project: 1. Is there a future for smart cities in Kenya? 2. Can this idea be replicated in the counties and if so to what scale? 3. Do the smart Cities offer a better value proposition than incubators that are being set up by universities?, are there any overlaps? The floor is open Best Regards -- Barrack O. Otieno +254721325277 +254-20-2498789 Skype: barrack.otieno http://www.otienobarrack.me.ke/

Fwd: [Internet Policy] Kroes speech - A Telecoms Single Market: Building a Connected Continent
by Barrack Otieno 23 Jul '13

23 Jul '13

Listers, FYI ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Joly MacFie <joly(a)punkcast.com> Date: Tue, Jul 9, 2013 at 8:40 PM Subject: [Internet Policy] Kroes speech - A Telecoms Single Market: Building a Connected Continent To: "internetpolicy(a)elists.isoc.org" <InternetPolicy(a)elists.isoc.org> http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_SPEECH-13-622_en.htm Exchange of views on forthcoming legislative initiatives in the area of Digital Agenda: 'Ensuring Connectivity for the Digital Economy' at ITRE Committee Meeting in the European Parliament / Brussels 9 July 2013 To add your comment to this speech, see the social version of the speech here <http://commentneelie.eu/> Thank you for inviting me to speak. Today I want to present you with my detailed ideas on building a connected continent. The world is going digital. This is a growing global market: we must take advantage. But our telecoms sector and ICT ecosystem, once the envy of the world, are not competing. Our citizens and businesses face barriers and unfair charges. This is supposed to be a global network: but it faces border checkpoints, even within our single market. The rest of the world is racing ahead. America, Japan, Korea have 88% of the world's 4G subscriptions; the EU has just 6. Meanwhile, only 2% of European homes have superfast broadband. Those problems need solutions. And I intend a package to do that; due first thing in September. It will bring down borders, stimulate investment, make it easier to operate and communicate across the EU. Building on our existing framework. Boosting our connected continent in three key ways. First: for truly European networks, it must be easier to communicate across borders. Without operators facing a tangle of different, incompatible rules. If you're allowed to operate anywhere in Europe – authorised within an EU framework — then you should be able to operate everywhere in the EU. And I don't just mean "possible": but straightforward in practice. Like a single authorisation system with supervision by the home member state. And more chance for the Commission to ensure consistent remedies. Less red tape, less cost, less hassle: that's what a single market means. That's the boost they already have in sectors from banking to broadcasting: now, for telecoms too. Second, those operators need "inputs" – the networks to run on. Again, as it stands, that's too hard, especially across borders. We need more consistent ways to access fixed networks – like standardising ways to access networks, so-called "virtual bitstream" products. And with interconnection services that guarantee quality. Plus for wireless we need better spectrum rules. Spectrum bands need more consistent licence conditions – like how long licences last, block sizes, fee structures and so on. All those things will make it easier to run a network over multiple countries - and easier to enjoy high quality services over them. Third, our citizens need to enjoy fair rights and a fair deal – across the Union. Including the right to net neutrality. Blocking or throttling services isn't just unfair and annoying for users – it's a death sentence for innovators too. So I will guarantee net neutrality. With more transparency, so you know what's in your contract. Making it easier to switch providers. Allowing the new premium services which so many new services rely on – from cloud computing to eHealth. And I will end anticompetitive blocking and throttling, for every citizen, on every network, on every device. Internet growth depends on openness and innovation: I will provide an absolute safeguard. A fair deal includes fairer prices. European calls shouldn't count as a costly "international call"; not within a true single market. You shouldn't face a sudden price hike, just to call across an internal border, so any difference in price must be objectively justified by additional costs. And of course, in a true single market, there are no artificial roaming charges. It's irritating, it's unfair, it belongs to the past. Often, the only remaining reminder of our internal borders is the phone in your pocket: that has to change. Millions of Europeans enjoy great, transparent packages on their mobile subscription; they expect to pay once and have everything included. Not just when they're at home: but when they travel too. They should be able to take their mobile minutes, messages and megabytes with them, wherever they travel in Europe. I know you raise the issue of roaming in the draft report from Mr Rohde. But let me remind you of one thing: it's not by banning roaming charges that we create a single market. Quite the opposite: it is by creating a single market that we will end roaming surcharges. A market where companies face the same competitive pressure to push down roaming prices as they do at home on their own network. A market where they can attract and keep customers by adding roaming to the competitive bundles they offer. A market where consumers enjoy choice and competition, not borders and barriers. That is how I want to turn today's fragmented reality into a true competitive single market. This fragmentation isn't about some breach of EU dogma: it has real consequences. To take just one example: spectrum. Countries are not following their obligations to assign spectrum. But even when it is assigned, each does it differently: so it's harder to bid, plan, and offer services across borders. Harder for manufacturers to optimise their new gadgets for Europe. Harder for business to benefit from single market economies of scale. Uncertainties and costs faced by operators are passed on to consumers: meaning higher prices, and poorer service. European manufacturers, who once led the world, today struggle to compete. This isn't just about one sector. Nor just about phones and tablets. Not any more. Soon all sorts of devices could be connected – from your car to your health device. There's a massive opportunity for people to enjoy pan-European services that work widely: but they're still waiting. I'm not just looking at one sector: I'm looking at the whole picture. The European telecoms sector and ICT ecosystem are keystones of our economy – and I'd like to see them stronger. A strong telecom sector that stands up for itself in a competitive market. Less reliant on regulation. But not for their sake: this is in everyone's interest. The fact is, the whole economy is relying on digital tools and networks. Sectors from banking to logistics, automotive to audiovisual. And, beyond that: all kinds of companies are crying out for the connectivity that could transform their business: from videoconferencing to cloud computing to 3D printing. Companies of every size in every sector. They are fed up with not having them. We cannot leave them stranded. They have European ambitions: we cannot leave them without the communications to match. In an economy relying on information and communication, we cannot sit by while the telecoms sector becomes too weak to compete, invest and innovate. We cannot continue to struggle by with poor, ageing networks. This matters. The boost from a competitive single market in telecommunications could be 110 billion euros a year. Quality communications for business could be worth 800 billion over 15 years. Broadband could create 2 million jobs. This is investing in tomorrow's growth. My ambition is large-scale: but my approach is pragmatic. Today our networks and regulations are largely national. A pragmatic approach is not about digging up those networks, tearing up those rulebooks, and starting again from scratch. It's about taking what we have and adapting it; unblocking the bottlenecks, bringing down the barriers. Giving operators, businesses and citizens the single market boost; better services, faster networks, fairer prices. I know that you have just been discussing a longer term option: a more comprehensive review of the entire ecosystem, as proposed in Mrs Trautmann's report. And I can see the attraction of that. But here's my advice: let's not miss this opportunity to make a real difference to growth and employment. Realistically, a full review would take 5 years. That is a long time to wait. And these days, lost time means lost opportunity. Think how the world has changed in the last five years – the devices you didn't have, the services that didn't exist. Think how the world will change in the next five. Then think if we can afford to wait that long, while other parts of the world race ahead. Instead, I am putting forward an incremental but immediate approach: improving the model, to get the best out of the current framework. Taking a significant step towards a single market where technology and service convergence are part of the new reality. Where an updated regulatory framework takes account of these dynamic changes, and where we can take the time to reflect on and then implement the regulatory framework we need for the future. But first, let's get the telecoms single market right. Let's get it working for Europe. That's my alternative. And I am giving you, this current Parliament, a chance: to offer more immediate benefits to our people and our economy. Fewer barriers, more choice, fairer prices, better business services, net neutrality, an end to roaming; a stronger economy creating more jobs. That’s the benefits of a connected, competitive continent. I think it's worth fighting for. So if you believe in Europe, believe in this: and join me in that fight. -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Joly MacFie 218 565 9365 Skype:punkcast WWWhatsup NYC - http://wwwhatsup.com http://pinstand.com - http://punkcast.com VP (Admin) - ISOC-NY - http://isoc-ny.org -------------------------------------------------------------- - _______________________________________________ To manage your ISOC subscriptions or unsubscribe, please log into the ISOC Member Portal: https://portal.isoc.org/ Then choose Interests & Subscriptions from the My Account menu. -- Barrack O.

Re: [Skunkworks] [kictanet] [ISOC_KE] Kenya Internet Governance Forum Online Discussions Day one: Internet and the Counties
by Adam Nelson 23 Jul '13

I'll bet that all of those government officers have 'work' emails but the ghetto Exchange/Qmail/Zimbra installations floating around this country just don't work. What I've seen in my limited time here (6 months) is that there's no focus on even 1 year ahead when it comes to ITC systems. This is not just a public sector problem although it's most obvious there. The issue seems most commonly to be some sharp kid comes out of school, sets something up that nobody else knows how to use, and then if he's really smart moves to a better job, leaving the unmaintained system behind, or if he's not so smart, sticks around but doesn't have the wherewithal to maintain and improve the system. Either way is problematic. What needs to happen is for local leaders to create more environments of excellence. Even a 3 or 4 person team of sharp tech people can do amazing things with ITC if they're given a budget and empowered to make things happen - a little political cover is all they really need from their bosses. I know there are alot of smart young people around (I've met them), but the old people are just strangling them. -Adam --- Kili.io - OpenStack for Africa: https://angel.co/kili-io Musings: https://twitter.com/varud About Adam: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamcnelson On Tue, Jul 23, 2013 at 1:05 PM, Ali Hussein <ali(a)hussein.me.ke> wrote: > One thing that irks me to no end is up to today we see government officers > both at the county level and national level communicating via email using > yahoo, hotmail and gmail accounts yet the transition authority has already > registered all the counties using the .go.ke extension.

Request for opinion: What does "open" mean to you?
by Simeon Oriko 22 Jul '13

22 Jul '13

Skunks, The School of Open <https://p2pu.org/en/schools/school-of-open/> at Peer 2 Peer University (P2PU) is starting up a new round of courses in August, 2013, and one of those is a course called “Why Open?” I’m writing to ask if you could fill out a very short survey to help contribute some content to this course. “Why Open?” is a 3-week long, facilitated course (meaning that participants and facilitators all go through it at the same time, rather than asynchronously) that is designed to help participants learn more about openness, recognize the benefits and challenges that can arise from opening up content or practices, and engage in some open practices themselves. It will run August 5-23, though participants will also complete a final project due around the end of August. You can see a draft of the course here: https://p2pu.org/en/courses/588/why-open/ In the first section of the course we ask participants to come with their own, preliminary understandings of what openness means. Then we will show them definitions by third parties and discuss the various meanings. We want to gather views from people with different expertise and backgrounds. One thing we will discuss is whether there are patterns in views of openness depending on profession or activity (e.g., do those in the sciences understand it differently than those in the technology fields, than those in arts or humanities, than those in business, etc.). We have a section in the draft course where these definitions will go, which you can see here: https://p2pu.org/en/courses/588/content/1143/ We have created a short survey (basically 2 questions, plus demographic info and request for links), and would love it if you could take a moment to fill it out. It should take you about five minutes. The survey can be found here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rxV_sdlyejuQT2_iJ-b6A5MZT91o3_oYi2QM8FIoV5… We would like your response by *midnight on Sunday August 4 (N. America time) at the latest.* Thank you for considering this request, and we do hope you will take the time to contribute to this course!

Hi Steve I agree with you in many areas. Well. well Open Source is now having lots of meanings today.Others like octopus MFI they say Octopus Community Version is open source in a sense that its free to use but not necessarily means that source codes are open too, and the funny thing is that the community version is trimmed of many important features .Very few communities today can give full working packages without intentional bugs and sorts.But their quite happy for your best contribution that will give edge. -Whatever way you choose PHP will tally highest...so many evangelists have criticized PHP with all their efforts and skills but they never succeed.But always you will never find many Wiki, CRMs,CMSs, free Accounting,financial ,system management apps in other language other than in PHP....Java lovers are mostly greedy people who like to hide codes on online.and nothing more.Java people will never give the world of open source anything that PHP has given. -Well back to "...Oracle have their own twisted way of managing open source...." this own way is what we have seen them in court with Google for Java, java would have turned useless if the court decided otherwise.Why do you think Java needed MySQL?Is it the same as RedHat with Fedora?These guys are crazy and evil..I just gave ana Example of M-Pesa with Kenya bright mind.Have propriety products with open by the side is like taping bests things for free from Open side and use them in propriety side. -- Regards, Nicholas Peter.* Kinpro Computers.* ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Steve Obbayi <steve(a)sobbayi.com> To: Skunkworks Mailing List <skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke> Cc: Date: Sun, 21 Jul 2013 10:06:11 +0300 (EAT) Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] POS solution Hi Mark, my company is working on a POS which is a drop in of a bigger application. You can deploy on premise or run in cloud. You can get the source if you want, but we offer an SLA to handle that, which is cheaper than you having a full-time dev screw up the code. So Mark, I will send you the details probably tomorrow and see if we can set you up with a demo. The basic version has all that you have asked for so far. Now Nicholas, I have to to jump in at this point and comment on some of your points 1. When you say PHP is easier than xxxx that's very subjective, that may be true for you and your peers. Maybe Mark has the resources who are experts in other languages. I certainly do have. Think about it. Besides, open source doesn't center around PHP. There's a lot I could argue on this, but not now. 2. Just so you know MariaDB was not started because of fear of Oracle killing MySQL it was started after Sun acquired MySQL. I personally got involved in MariaDB right from day one back in 2008 that is 6 years ago. Another thing, the latest MySQL 5.6 has the largest amount of feature additions and performance improvements of any previous MySQL version. I don't know if that constitutes killing it. The thing with Oracle is that they have their own twisted way of managing open source and that's what pisses off people. especially seeing the like of Oracel, Ms and Apple have historically not been know to be too keen on open source. 3. I agree with you on the source code. I have had a few customers ask for source code and not make much use of it. I think having source code just makes customers feel fuzzy and sleep better at night but when it comes down to it they always come back for new features from upstream. But all in all its always costly for customers to try to maintain source code themselves because they have to maintain full time devs, who have to be trained on the code. Then getting patches and bug fixes may break code that was added by the dev so they end up avoiding them. It just becomes a nightmare and this becomes part of the reason why today many companies are stuck on legacy systems/backward-compatibly issues.

Hi Peter, Got Lost in this forest of multiple quotes. 1.Trust me PHP is easy, lots of people would say millions of words just to keep their esteem where they think is right.I have seen die hard (Java,python,groovy,ruby,C# ..) programmers etc who will never make 4 consecutive products before peeping at PHP.You even find their product site is developed by PHP. C# will very soon be dumped even by Microsoft themselves ,despite the fact that they tried to make it the flag carrier.Java has even tried to accommodate PHP,why..?People would swear of anything ...marketing sometimes includes lies. 2. There are Many DBs (RDBMS) but Maria is the one to one Replacement to MySQL. Oracle just like any other multi-national corporates are swallowing any competitors by buying them.Google went for youtube, S .African Breweries bought out Kibo breweries through Kenya Breweries ,killed Kibo breweries in Tanzania.They finally managed to eliminate competition to Tanzania Breweries which is theirs too.And they finally turned the factory into a go down.Now they are resuming with different ways of operation than the one that pushed them to buy it. 3.You cant decide other way round next day, unless there is something wrong in your decision and implementation processes.Well, you haven`t said anything about how we would die, if its by merging obviously the next owner would very much like to take over the customer base,and might come with something more intriguing. Careful approach during implementation and strong business practice and Stability of the software..trust me would guarantee you to work with for a very long time.Throughout the world people are still using legacy systems with comfortable operations.why should change ways that have been giving and still giving you edge?When there is a need to change ,then chances are the new ways need different product(s).

PHP is easy Do you suppose PHP being easy is as result of the education, experience and exposure of the developer? I would assume that there are several people on this list who would say that Python is way easier than PHP, while others would swear by C#. What do you think? 2. MySQL and Oracle So essentially Oracle bought Sun for $7.4 billion so that they can pick whats good in MySQL, add it to Oracle DB and then kill MySQL so as to force users of MySQL to start buying Oracle DB? Other than MariaDB, are there no other open source RDBMS out there that can make a viable replacement for MySQL? 4. Your customers and your code In your earlier email, you said: Go for product that you can use longer even if the vendor collapse.... My earlier question was, if I buy your software today and tomorrow your company collapses, and then the day after, I want some changes in the way it works, what options do I have considering that I don't have access to the code? --

Hi Peter, 1.PHP is easy, not hidden and can easily be ported to higher versions of Apache\PHP\mysql and immediately shoot,if logic and patterns are not that complicated.Very few guys out there have added obfuscations.PHP is the cheapest in terms of hosting in the clouds and locally. You will also find many guys who can read and write something(edit) in PHP that Java. 2.MySQL was bought by Oracle so that they can pick better side while killing it, it now moving fast to closed source sides,those guys die hard Open Source evangelist have now moved to start Maria DB.Java was almost crippled (Removing all useful APIs) if Google wasn't there to save their soul as they have invested so much. Mysql is the most used DB in the web and local apps by multi - billion corporates that could by oracle products. 4.My Customers had never asked to buy the source- codes.By the way that would cost them more in terms of initial cost and maintenance.They will rarely , get a cheap programmer, they will always find some problems when their in house programmer depart, new one has to learn hard, we would find it very hard to add new features when things have changed so much(incompatible).So far our customers have tried to define what they need and we do add or modify very quickly to an extent they they think they do`nt need any more support support for the foreseeable future, with as stable as it would be the customer would never need us until they change how they do business,which means any software can get as far as that distance. By the way our software products are by far the cheapest,customizable,scalable from the front side than many software around.Any client that is that greedy to think of tempering with code,might have chosen a wrong product. or have a wrong intentions.We add,customize features by charging a very low amount of money than any proud programmer around.While people thing of outsourcing project around the world others think of taking every slice in each layer to themselves. By the way many outsource project are like "survey and free way to use others skills and ideas", and somewhere these guys would start to pull a string leaving others hanging.Do you want me to hurt you...?M-Pesa was a good exploitation of bright minds in Kenya.Bright minds in Kenya contributed so much to Mpesa thing,they pushed from taking off, diversified and finally someone would pull a string with patent things.How should those guys be paid or benefit in terms of royalties ? If you like source code you have two ways..by the product, or outsource a task to us, or sub contract us..we would more than happy. Nicholas Peter Mmasi. >>>>>>>>>>>>>> From: Peter Karunyu <pkarunyu(a)gmail.com> Hi Nicholas, I find your analysis of open source software quite interesting, please clarify the following points: 1. Never bother with non-PHP based open source apps Why is this so? Why PHP? 2. Java and MySQL are owned by Oracle Why is the ownership of these two by Oracle such as bad thing for open source software? 3. Choose a product which one can continue using even after the vendor collapses When you are offering Easysale POS or Mayo School ERP to customers, do you include the source code so that they can continue using/improving/modifying it should your company collapse? I have zero experience in the field of making and selling software, thus my questions above may seem a bit obvious, so please, educate a brother :-)

Check me offline ,I will set you a demo.Why should you go for opensource?Other than PHP based Apps never bother with open.Communities die, members disperse and open new Community with some tricks, if JAVA,MSQL, all have bought by big fishes Oracles and if Google wasnt there JAVA would have been turned Propriety,Octopus Microfinance now its a closed system. Opensource projects have turned to be a free way to improve products to commercial qualities ,then they introduce commercial versions, then they stop somewhere.

[SKUNKWORKS] Personal items theft at intercontinental hotel Nairobi
by Martin Gicheru 20 Jul '13

20 Jul '13

Just thought to alert you guys to not be so trusting while at the Intercontinental. I had my laptop bag stolen yesterday after an event we had there early yesterday. Not even CCTV footage could get me to identify the thief, we were four of us watching the footage and couldn't pick a thing. The bag was stolen while in the hall after the event, cctv cameras are at the corridors only, so within the halls that couldn't be tracked. My last suspicion could be either an inside job or someone had time to put in my bag in a carton/bigger bag. So be vigilant, don't stay a minute away from your things while there.

I am always amused at how much slack we want to cut guys who undercut us. Anyway, back to issue at hand. @Mwagiru, can you lead a virtual team to conceptualize a proper voting @Hans, the doc you posted shows the RFP as of Dec. With screenshots from both mobile and desktop apps. This means the system had already been developed. So what is the point of failure? If we say the failure is not in transmission but rather in processing, does that mean the data is already at IEBC servers? What would be the technological reason for the system to stop processing (this is a very ambiguous term). Data visualization is being done by google from IEBC servers. So what exactly is failing?

OpenStack meetup and birthday - July 18 iHub UX Lab
by Adam Nelson 17 Jul '13

17 Jul '13

If anybody is interested in OpenStack (or wants to know more about it), come on down to the inaugural meetup at the iHub UX lab on July 18th: http://www.meetup.com/OpenStack-Nairobi Doors will open at 5:30 and we'll start the talk at 6. It's the 3rd birthday of OpenStack (announced at OSCON in Portland, Oregon in 2010) so we'll probably have some cake too :-) For those who don't know, OpenStack is set of packages to create a cloud computing infrastructure for virtual servers, block storage, object storage, etc... It is ideally situated in private enterprise data centers and is also well suited for Internet-based application hosting too.

The end of Bank Robberies
by Kinpro Computers-All IT soutions 17 Jul '13

17 Jul '13

1.HIV eliminated majority of the super talented robbers. 2.Change in patterns for rewarding police. Police couldn`t collaborate with them anymore as killing them turned to be rewarded by "climbing a ladder" .That means they go closer to the "political Fisadi' ,and start protecting Politicians with their interests.This was more rewarding than protecting civilians. Police killed them even after the court has cleared them by snatching and then kill them when they are celebrating in the wilderness. 3.Bank building are more transparent,illusive with security devices limits option for the dreaming& not-so clever and courageous robbers.banks are no more fortified behind concrete walls where anything inside is not visible to the by-passers.Its like no hiding place to mask themselves before they step in a bank, if they musk themselves to far on the way someone would doubt them.Its more unpredictable than before.Its like an Open bar with gun equipped visitors who are wide spread enough. Robbers would never try anything of their art.How can they point gun in all directions (front,back,right,left) while they know everybody can kill them? This is how we go to a cashless society,where only cashless robbers can survive.
