I think University of Aga Khan Hospital is running linux for their asterisk
pbx, i might be wrong but i heard the famous voice of Allison smith saying "please leave a message after the tone" when the phone was put in loudspeaker when inside the outpatient.I might be wrong or somebody already suggested it, so could you please confirm.

Nick, this idea of offlist when KRA is concerned, will not help. I'm at KRA right now because the online system is misbehaving. If we could talk over through this forum, we would not be here, qeueing.

This is an open invitation to members of this forum to the inaugural Kenya Open Source Awards to be held on 27th May at the Panafric Hotel, Nairobi. The event will kick off at 2.30. It will be preceded by a media briefing at 12.30 which will also be attended by the guest oh honour.
As earlier communicated, details are on our website, www.lpakenya.org .
The nominations are still ongoing. Its amazing the kind of project nominations that we have received so far. One of the biggest gains that we intend to make from these awards is to map the FOSS community on Kenya. We hope to get a clear picture of who is involved in what project in the FOSS community. Its a kind of an audit of our FOSS activity.
We again appeal to you to nominate any individuals, projects or organizations that are actively involved in Open Source so that we can consider them along those that we already have. We know that there is quite a bit of FOSS activity going on out there but nobody knows what the other is doing.
For instance, do you know of a hospital that has implemented an open source solution like Care2X? Or a Government Ministry that is running entirely on Linux (I have heard about the Ministry of Youth Affairs but am not sure, anyone with info?). Anyone who has helped an organization to fully migrate to FOSS? Or an Educational institution that uses/trains a lot of Open Source (Like Strath)? Or anyone who has a FOSS project at Freshmeat or Sourceforge etc? Any Individuals who have done some innovative solutions on Open Source? This information will be highly appreciated and we urge you all to come out and support this initiative by giving this information. Please dont forget that you cn also nominate yourself or your organization. Pass the word around.
The full list of the award recipients will be availed before the event once we complete the nomination process.
Thank you in advance and see you all there.
Evans Ikua, LPA-Kenya
@Evans, You can contact me offlist for details of the on-going FOSS ERP project at KRA.

@Solomon, I am really sorry you are experiencing problems with KRA's new online system. I am not personally involved in the project at this stage, but you can forward me the issues so that I can pass them over to the right people. Please feel free to comment onlist.
