Though some of us may not exist or be too old to remember anything in 2030, we in the code world are lucky enough to change the destiny and outcome of what happens. If we started today and worked on a 2-5 year project that could become the biggest voluntary involvement of developers in the region and eventually the Icon of our engineering or design of the East Africa Information Age, what would it be?
- Leave govt out of this. Things will never get done
- Leave commercialism out of this as there are millions of people and developers out there ahead of us
- Leave out an Operating System, there are plenty around
- Leave out applications for poverty, community and social areas as these are highly contested by private firms, ngos, commerce etc
Some thots, take your time and if you think it's a strong possible, then lets take it offlist at some point.
Rgds. :-)
