I do not agree with you on that. Please educate me about BIND, TCPIP, Apache, Firefox, Linux etc and where all that fits in your statement.
Then, are you now confirming that there are no Kenyan proprietary developers who have made any global impact? I don't know if its my English that's bad, or it's that we are not communicating.

Give me time to go deep into this, and will revert to you on all that you ask. Your question on whether any Kenyan proprietary developers have made a global impact? My view, they have done nothing at all. Infact it is bad to a point where if I had to deploy a website, I'd find it very difficult to find servers locally that provide hosting and one wonders they really do. And this is the primary reason for trying to put together a focus group that will have some goals in mind. But as you can see from the list, there has been no progress in creating one so far.  :-)

 

Evans, also keep this in mind so that you are aware. When the focus groups gets it act together, then its competition time. Our targets may clash with your group targets, but possbilby we need it for the sake of getting coders interested or for those coders finding more markets for themselves.
