@Phares, though I'll be back around mid march but will be following via the net, the iHUB has to be the most significant development in the local scene. Thanks to @Erik, Riyaz, Rebecca, Conrad and others who have been working on this. I read Ushaidi is backing its operations for 3 years..
@Erik, any chance that the iHUB will be accessible for future skunks events? I hope it will be. Personally I think iHUB is going to an incubator for many dreams and access to the VC world. Wish iHUB and all in the project a successful launch and developer 2010 is going to shape things to even better levels.
@Phares, though a long shot but is it possible to invite some members of kictb/Min of InfoCom to this list for their value able contributions? They have a lot of information on developements taking place but we dont have access to this info nor the ability to debate any of those developements. Mbugua Njihia has shared some critical points that just took place 2 days ago, it would help if others who are in places can share across the platform.
anyway, rush rush and sugestions..... contribute soon. :-)
Rgds.

There will be a Skunkworks Meetup on the 2nd of February 2010. This will be the first meeting this year, and it's an honor that we will be discussing iHub, Nairobi's new Tech Innovation Hub... http://whiteafrican.com/2010/01/25/ihub-nairobis-tech-innovation-hub-is-here
The meeting will be coordinated by Erik Hersman, who is a co-founder at Ushahidi (www.ushahidi.com), who is also behind the concept of iHub.
Meeting starts at 6pm, Teleposta Tower's, 4th Floor, Multimedia University...
Profound gratitude to Multimedia University, who have hosted the Skunkworks meetings for the last year and have been more than gracious hosts over the period.
