Is there a Kenyan C# and ASP.NET online group or mailing list that is aggressively active?
Gentlemen/Ladies who are involved with the above platform, care to make any recommendations or suggestions? If one does not exist let us create one, as Kenyan internet online space is literally crying out for our takings. I've not mastered it yet and am in no rush whatsoever, but would find it very useful to share and motivate one another to get our projects online within set timely targets.

@Calvin, good question. I really hope it will be an informal group who love coding on the above framework and maybe a future launchpad for many of our combined projects. @Rad, over to you for clarifications. My view is that we need a focus group for the framework so if this gets too complicated or involves any formal-ness then please go ahead without me. I might as well finally go my own way online and do my thing. But I'd wish the .net group all the success in the future.

hi, I saw pesapal API supports ASP.net integration so do routesms(though not kenyan). On Tue, Nov 22, 2011 at 10:16 PM, aki <aki275@gmail.com> wrote:

@Mickey, let us give @Rad sometime to create it and if it is outside his scope, then we shall continue with the original idea. For quick setup, there are many ways to get the list going within a very short time. :-) On Fri, Nov 25, 2011 at 12:15 PM, Mickey Mickey <michaelakunga@gmail.com>wrote:

@Rad, my current email address is fine and will participate in the online group. Well done. Please set targets and let's all do some Kenyan Internet Space kicking-arse. Can't wait to self motivate on some of my projects... :-) @Mickey, cheers. :-) **Sent from my Microsoft/Intel based computer. Affordable & reliable computing for Decades**

@Rad, while you are creating the mailing list/forum etc, if you'd like any assistance or guidance, l can try and offer my limited knowledge in this section. In the meantime, I'd like to share these* thoughts* for the Kenyan C# & ASP.NET action group/forum/list. - Why is the asp.net public segment penetration so poor? Most websites tend to have the .html and .php extensions. Is the reason open source purely became very successful in that web hosting companies in Africa got free access to hosting software? ISP's are generally known to be the worst interms of exploting Open Source mail servers or other open platforms to provide value added services with almost zero investments in tailored core solutions. Have businesses in Africa fully embraced the free power of Open Source for commercial gain that it is not possible to find a company that does asp.net hosting? - Mobile payment and SMS gateway systems are all based on open source. Do we have access to any functional API's that work for asp.net and how can asp.net make life easier for those who choose asp.net as their preferred platform - Website awareness is not a necessity in Africa. We would need to change this, ensure sensitive sites are certified and secure. How can we work in the future with the CCK or other authorities to get certificates that honour commitment to client security and integrity of transactions? The certificates create a trust level that would allow commited online transactions. - Are there any existing CMS modues that work on asp.net or is there a need to create some locally? Suppose we had a project that allows kenyans who simply need a basic website to create their own websites by adding the various editing features that a CMS system offers to the asp.netenvironment. Therefore, we could start a new trend where a simple website is created at a click of a mouse action. This could be integrated onto hosting servers. - What C# and ASP.NET can do is almost limit less. What are our options of Mobile web? My opinion is that there is no need to create specific apps for various Mobile device platforms as most will do mobile web quite easily. - With the Visa Platform offered by I & M bank, what API's do we have acces to or has the development need to be done? Will add more once we have the group operational. Rgds. :-) -
Hallo @Rad, care to share any progress on the creation of the list development?
