@Rahim. Lets start by collecting views on an os kenyans want via FB, twitter & other social nw sites. @Odhiambo & the rest. An Os whose origin is kenyan will put us on the global map as an Ict hub. It is an indicator of our ambitions. Ur aware of nyayo pioneer & excitement it caused yet it failed. The prjct can serve as a local case study 4 our ict academicians & researchers. I agree it will cost lots of money & many yrs. But I think it is a worthy cause. For funding kenya ict board & kirdi. The latter has an ict r&d dept. But dont let the govt in 2 much lest they think it is a 2012 thing. The time is now 4 kenix. . Regards Martin
