Hoping that we'll be able to hear more of your thoughts at the next Barcamp in August :) -- Josiah Mugambi On Sat, Jun 25, 2011 at 12:43 PM, aki <aki275@gmail.com> wrote:
Sharing some amateur thots here. For the technologists on our forum/list and those that put in a hard day's work to make a living on skills but are commonly referred to as "techies" but who can never be "faking-it for money so called developers", please always remember the subject punch line and be proud of it. Am writing this because my research has gone quite deep into the so called innovation and developer sector, I now know extremely well what is going on from finance polices to building of a national image but will not put in a public domain except for my random rants. Kenyan Skunks are not stupid nor foolish enough not to be able to judge. While the so called developer community ( not all, some are excellent people ) talk about Non-Disclosure Agreements even before they step into any place but expect "techies" to openly give solutions/ideas for free? There is no field that is too unique nor too difficult beyond many of us on this forum/list.
As far as my tech contribution goes on the list, I've self signed an NDA and will not respond to any tech queries or calls for so called help but will encourage enterprise between skunks and those looking for any help. Those looking for free help but for commercial gain in any manner whatsoever should think twice before posting such threads as they could mean an insult to some of us. Simply put, when did the govt ever use World bank funds and assist any technologists on this forum e.g. develop asterisk based solutions when the govt was moving to voip ( cisco? ) or even provide any funding to those who follow Linux Association or even fund the e-automation of the KE domain registration system while they went to the extent of borrowing almost USD 500,000 to put into a white elephant mobile dev sector.
My views are simple, realistic and not meant to offend anyone.... :-)
Here's a TV series in the UK Channel4 called "Faking It", worth a watch. http://www.channel4.com/programmes/faking-it/4od
