Point noted... I still need 2 minds are better than 1.. The committee does not have to meet or anything, we can work online and exchange progress on list..

I definitely need several inputs from the listers in terms of what to constitute.. we don end up like maendeleo ya wanawake na wanaume. LOL

I also agree with the idea and will support it fully.

It will take care of those of us who find they cant really fit with the engineers (IEK, ERB, ERC).

Great Oliver,

I think we are making headway. I am sure we have skunk lawyers here who can advise of what it take to register and operational the association.

I give moral and technical support.

Association of ICT Professionals 

Just like bankers, insurers, teachers, transporters, hawkers, medics, accountants, matatu operators even clearing agents.. Why not us..?

Sometimes you are better of building your own, setting your own rules.
One thing you do not want to do is inherit all the garbage accumulated in an existing group whose history you have no idea.

Build from scratch. That should be our ploy.

@Oketch that is clever but how difficult is it to start one from scratch, I believe the hardest rock is to wee the members support and commitment.

You'll quickly realise it's the informality people like. Make it formal and probably get like 50 people. An occasional meeting or party makes sense but a formal ongoing engagement .... Not so much.. But yes by all means start something

Why can't we hijack & take over one of those bodies instead of building from scratch? (just a thought). We identify the body, join it enmass and then change it from within...

Hence the Skunks website earlier proposed.

But seriously, I know this idea has been discussed before and many people felt that the group functions better shrouded in informality. But I feel we need some sort of formalization, as it is easier to advocate/push for matter concerning ICT and ourselves as ICT practitioners easily if we were formed in to an officially legally recognized body or society.

I heard before of an body known as the ICT Association of Kenya, but I have my doubts as to whose interests  that body really represents. To me Skunkworks has, and still is the body (informal as it may be) that I feel represents those int he technical ICT sector.

Oliver, probably you should run with this. If you need help members can contribute ideas.

Regards,

Philip.

Oliver, you are not the first one to think in that direction. If there is a body that hard to engage are ict proffessionals. Look at what photographers have done opak. Look at wat doctors have done. IT hatuwezi fikria hivyo.
