We are in IT, we can walk and chew gum. We can pledge for a server and discuss Skunks organization at the same time. That's what multi-tasking is all about. On Thu, Dec 10, 2009 at 5:07 PM, David Mugo <raidarmax@gmail.com> wrote:
Yes, @Simon, you have just said the words I wanted to say in so many words...Mission, Vision, where are we headed? What are the goals? I can tell you something, I am not happy at where I am in life today, I call myself a pioneer in the Kenyan web industry yet I failed to plan some things and I have been overtaken by my own students...while that is a good thing to see students prosper, it should also have earned me some place...I believe we need to do that before some millionaire comes and buys off skunkworks from I dont know who...by the way, I still need to know who runs skunkworks, last time I checked, @Aki denied big time having anything to do with the running, yet he is the one campaigning for the funds...
All am saying is that we have a good thing, we need to be clear on the direction we are taking it...

I've also made my pledge, but can't help thinking abt such things as vision and mission. I really do think we need to have a well thought-out long-term plan if we are to start venturing into such matters as these.
Hope this statement is taken positively

@Mugo - You do have a point, which we need to thrash out and see what comes out of this, but for now, we need to contribute, and this reason why your contribution is indicated on the spreadsheet, is that when it gets to that point about ownership, it has to matter

The server will be bought then what? Mugo has valid points that can be discussed alongside purchase of the server.
What next for skunkworks? I think we suffer from 'too much talk'.Its about time we acted. I am aware that this discussion has been had on skunkworks before but
the
fruits are yet to be seen. We can start by simply listing what we would like to see changed and move on from there.
Ama we all resign from our jobs and form a company called skunkworks IT. Am sure all IT in Nairobi would standstill fora while....
While he has valid points, I think we need to do one thing at a time. Purchasing the server is not the end of Skunkworks, or is it? I think if we focussed on what is ahead of us right now, Mugo's query would find a place to be addressed! IMHO!

Man is a gregarious animal and enjoys agreement as cows will graze all the same way to the side of a hill!
AND
It is better to die in dignity than in the ignomity of ambiguous generosity!
