Thanks for your response Paul, i am looking at it from point number 3 in your list, given the challenging nature of Projects conducted in teams, the ICT board could create a Special Purpose Vehicle, that would identify the needs of each project and try to match them with available expertise on the lists, the board can also provide guarantees to the client and once the project is delivered, the board can take its cut in the form of management costs (something similar to the way KBS manages peoples matatus), this would help to bring more focus into the projects, my thoughts are based on the number of Collaborative projects that have been brought up on this forum but they dont seem to take of despite their economic viability. Those are my thoughs Thank you

I suggest setting up a wiki where everyone can register with skillset and availability....

Hello. I'm glad you mention it. Project X was an idea too that I wanted to share about the creation of kenya's first distributable Open Source Corporate solution ( a commercial concept ). I even went into all the details of how the suggested work flow would work. There was some interest but my serious handicap was that I'm not a developer ( give me a few years ) nor did I get any feedback from developers. The project is still open to anyone who'd want to implement it. I know of a brazilian company who would have easily done it for me at a cost ( including private labelling ) but this is not my interest and that would defeat its creation. In brazil ( I've never been there ), open source solutions have a very strong market presence and many companies customize them.
A recap of Project X : create a local distribuatble DVD linux/freebsd solution to contain Mail Server, Firewall Server, Squid Server, 2 Network card Interfaces, NDIS, NTLM or OLDAP, Web Interface etc.
Sales : Distribute the DVD to super markets or any outlets. Purchase cost is eg Ksh 300/-. Silly self install system DVD, anyone can create a full server in a matter of minutes, no foss knowledge or experience required. ( ISO installer )
Support : Annual support billable. This revenue would create chances for new developers while existing developers would get revenue. This also creates a professional approach to offering the above.
I moved on to other things in my personal time so I hope someone will implement it one day... :-)

Personally, Crystal Offered to do something not many can do.He is ready to get a team of skunks and skunkettes to form a team to work through project X(Aki... what happened to these project?),and am sure if they team up with Walu,then Project Management isnt an issue.
