Kudo's to Wesley! Now I remember why I'd like to hear him present on graphics manipulation or something of the sort! Basic introductory stuff not the hard core C++ stuff he and the likes of Steve Obbayi are into! One of these Saturdays we could get Adobe Air / Flex, Java FX and Silverlight animation technologists to demonstrate creating similar animations - each with a 30 to 45 minute period to do so. It could be one Saturday morning like from 10am to 2pm! Most Java and .Net developers are more likely to work with technolgies they are already familiar with to become devigners. The more experienced animation devigners are probably already into (Adobe's) Actionscript. Java.Fxers's can nominate one or two of their own to present - wherever else they hang out online (possibly on skunkworks). Silverlight.Netists can apply (probably to conradakunga@gmail.com) to present or nominate one or two of their own at www.africadotnet.com Adobe Flash / Flex / AIR devigners are probably the more experienced animators so we'll see if the rest are catching up with their tools and technologies. What d'yall think? Sponsors? On Thu, May 14, 2009 at 11:11 AM, wesley kiriinya <kiriinya2000@yahoo.com>wrote:

Seriously: My 20 cents: Moving current creates a magnetic field and I believe the larger the current the greater the field. This magnetic field interferes with the electronics in your radio that pick up radio transmission. So it's not the sound waves that are disturbed but rather you radio's electronics.
Now I remember why I like physics 8~)
Sounds like a plan :) AnimationCamp / DesignCamp anyone? On Thu, May 14, 2009 at 12:54 PM, Murigi Muraya <mmskunkworks@gmail.com>wrote:

Looks like we'll have to wait for those guys going for the Adobe Programming seminar(s) to (learn to) demonstrate to us what Adobe Technologies can do. Why get free lunch(es) and not return Adobe the favor? They are no doubt the most advanced (feature wise) but word has it that simpler tools are also working well for those unable (due to time or legacy constraints) to master Adobe Technologies. http://digitalproducer.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=73181... Lets do something (Animated) in October this year. Give interested parties some months to learn / master some (Flex / JavaFx / Silverlight) stuff to showcase. Maybe the Kenya ICT Board will sponsor this event - again put its money where its declarations are about promoting local content. Problem with Corporate sponsors (Microsoft, Google, Adobe etc) is that they may lock out competitor technologies from such an event.

I'd be very surprised if there was no one currently developing, or at least doing R&D on Flex and AIR locally. Taking up new technologies is something that should be driven by personal and professional initiative rather than spoon-feeding. In fact i'd be much more interested if the government portals were built on Silverlight or AIR given that they offer benefits like offline use, integration with hardware (printers/scanners/modems). That to me would truly be using technology to deliver services to Kenyans instead of the tired old route of customizing joomla and providing 'download form and print' links.
