I've also made my pledge, but can't help thinking abt such things as vision and mission. I really do think we need to have a well thought-out long-term plan if we are to start venturing into such matters as these.

@Mugo - You do have a point, which we need to thrash out and see what comes out of this, but for now, we need to contribute, and this reason why your contribution is indicated on the spreadsheet, is that when it gets to that point about ownership, it has to matter

The server will be bought then what? Mugo has valid points that can be discussed alongside purchase of the server.
What next for skunkworks? I think we suffer from 'too much talk'.Its about time we acted. I am aware that this discussion has been had on skunkworks before but the fruits are yet to be seen. We can start by simply listing what we would like to see changed and move on from there.
Ama we all resign from our jobs and form a company called skunkworks IT. Am sure all IT in Nairobi would standstill fora while....
While he has valid points, I think we need to do one thing at a time. Purchasing the server is not the end of Skunkworks, or is it? I think if we focussed on what is ahead of us right now, Mugo's query would find a place to be addressed! IMHO!

@Aki,
You are right on the realities of these things, but did you know that there are funds to do such things? This government has allocated so much money to youth projects, I believe this would be a really great project and we can create projects with our expertise that will earn for us and for Skunkworks as an organization.
We consist of the best ICT professionals and there is a whole lot of revenue around that.
Labor can be voluntary and am sure we can get policies pushed.
David.
@David, you know you are right and many on this share similar ideas. Whether govt will help to buy an ailing public server remains to be seen, so the best test of this in front of you. In the meantime, we have to try and do what we can.
Haiya, asante sana for your contribution! Umeweka kwa spreadsheet? :-)))
Cheers.

Man is a gregarious animal and enjoys agreement as cows will graze all the same way to the side of a hill!
AND
It is better to die in dignity than in the ignomity of ambiguous generosity!
