@Aki You failed to show up for the Skunkworks meeting discussing some of the initiatives... :-).

We have many things that ail our tech sector, but more positives really than negatives...

VC is generally a good thing. Why? Most tech companies fail not because of poor technology, but poor business sense, which is what VC's bring to the table. The problem is in managing them. We have no clue how to negotiate with them etc... As a country shy of natural resources, we need whatever capital can be injected, we don't have the population/mineral muscle that countries like China enjoy....

@Rad, appreciate your input. :-)
 
As far as I see it, ICT Board and even Dr Ndemo don't need me to waste their time sitting in some office discussing what? Proposals that are public knowledge on this list? I'm already walking the talk here on this list with some proposals, though am not yet an expert.
 
But you too can help as you have been in the industry for long and are well versed with all the problems. Suppose that we draft up proposals right on this list and want to see an implemenation date, how do we go about it? Do any of my proposals even have any value? There are software developer companies on this list, yet none has responded.
 
What do you think?
 
Rgds.

Aki my friend that argument is not convincing.

There are too many armchair philosophers and critics. It is very easy to point out issues.

It is another altogether to suck it up and walk the talk.

Who do you expect to change things if everyone uses the argument that they want to be objective therefore they won't do anything?

Hapo my guy -- i disagree.
