I was talking to a couple of my friends last friday and the general feeling is that Kenya is lagging behind in the developer field! I just think that opinion is fueled by the fact that the developers who exist do their thing in silent mode and in a distributed manner. There was a proposal for people developing on java and other platforms create a sort of portal where they can showcase their apps.

I had a glimpse of what the developers in Kenya have done and I was amazed!! JUST IMAGINE what would have happened if we had the big picture!! Mr. Murigi, I am behind you on this initiative!

Geeks???
