greetings fellow Skunks, It is evident from the list and the great IT minds we have in KE and now with Konza city coming up, I believe that the market is ripe for a special tech TV show This could be an avenue to discuss anything from - latest products and softwares - Geeky Gadgets - Phone specs and benchmarking - Gaming - Hacking awareness (the IEBC clip fallacy could be put to rest here) - Animations - Benchmarking various internet providers and Mobile providers the list is endless. Here is another idea, what better way than to get our best minds to produce and host it. This can be owned by us, the skunks We can take it this idea up, conceptualise and, host it and sell it to a major station What say you?
Great Idea. I would support this. Regards. JM On Wed, Mar 27, 2013 at 11:19 AM, Bogi Benga <bogibenda@gmail.com> wrote:

@Bogi, I can't remember how I came by this information, but this is what I know... For a show to have marketable appeal to the major media houses, it needs to have a large enough potential marketable audience. And therein lies the catch 22. For a techie show to have a large audience for make financial sense to the media houses, it needs to be dumbed down. The moment you dumb it down, then it looses its appeal to most geeks since they will consider it, well, to be polite, a waste of time watching. For example, there is that techísh column in the Nation, written by a dude called Sam, I think. I would most certainly postulate that he is forced to simplify it. Larry Madowo used to have a very nice techie show, where he was not at liberty to dumb it down, and it was great! But, it was positioned at around mid day, who watches tv at that time really? Unless of course, media houses are not the distribution medium, in which case the aforementioned catch 22 does not exist. On Wed, Mar 27, 2013 at 3:21 PM, Francis Njenga <korefn@gmail.com> wrote:

In response to what @Peter has said, maybe the distribution of the show(s) could be done via other mediums like DVD sets, a Website (buni.tv maybe or something similar), perhaps a Youtube channel for starters, ftp downloads ...... Schools and other educational institutions can be targeted. That way, you are not implicitly required to dumb-down the material while reaching a substantially large audience all at once. Martin.

@Peter, You dont need to dumb it down.. Just make it palatable to the general audience. make it appealing by revieweing trendy and fascinating stuff. It will also be appealing to corporates in getting to understand social network trends. A pretty face may very well help in this cause :-) This is what a south African channel has done so far and i think they are doing a pretty good job http://ww.enca.com/programming/tech-report an example of what their reviews entail http://ww.enca.com/videos/tech-report-checking-out-facebooks-check @Okechukwu.

Ok, I too am on board. We should have ideas on whats needs to be featured on it. Here are my ideas of tech stuff I would skip lunch to watch on tv: 1. Which modem is the better overall 2. Zuku vs DSTV vs SmartTV vs DIY FTA 3. How to get FTA tv DIY style 4. How to be safe on the net, from a paranoia perspective. 5. Interviews of certain C level people e.g. (since I am a programmer), the dude who runs the show @ craft silicon, Paul Mwachi of iSys, Njoroge of Cellulant, Ngigi of AT, Peter Muchemi, Pithon Kamau, <someone else i am forgetting here> on how they manage to make lots of money from code 6. Interviews of certain techie techies, on how to be a better techie; e.g. Kiti Chigiri on how to setup CloudFront for websites, Eugene Mbogo on how to make faster software, the supreme geeks who run the show at Safaricom & Equity data centers, Areba or Bernard or Space dude on how to setup FTA tv (sorry, i really really want to know how to do this), Rad on his experiences all those gazillions of years developing software. 7. And finally, something really real & technical on gaining and preventing un-authorized access to computer stuff :-) 8. ... On Wed, Mar 27, 2013 at 5:35 PM, Bogi Benga <bogibenda@gmail.com> wrote:

Schools and other educational institutions can be targeted. That way, you are not implicitly required to dumb-down the material while reaching a substantially large audience all at once.

For a show to have marketable appeal to the major media houses, it

And therein lies the catch 22.
For a techie show to have a large audience for make financial sense to the media houses, it needs to be dumbed down. The moment you dumb it down, then it looses its appeal to most geeks since they will consider it, well, to be polite, a waste of time watching.
For example, there is that techísh column in the Nation, written by a dude called Sam, I think. I would most certainly postulate that he is forced to simplify it.
Larry Madowo used to have a very nice techie show, where he was not at liberty to dumb it down, and it was great! But, it was positioned at around mid day, who watches tv at that time really?
Unless of course, media houses are not the distribution medium, in which case the aforementioned catch 22 does not exist.

Good idea. As long as we try to maintain brand neutrality of the tech products (within reason) we should be fine. This will also help the idea mutate into a sustainable one in the long term. Moses. On 27 Mar 2013 17:18, "Okechukwu" <okechukwu@gmail.com> wrote:

Schools and other educational institutions can be targeted. That way, you are not implicitly required to dumb-down the material while reaching a substantially large audience all at once.

For a show to have marketable appeal to the major media houses, it needs to have a large enough potential marketable audience.
And therein lies the catch 22.
For a techie show to have a large audience for make financial sense to the media houses, it needs to be dumbed down. The moment you dumb it down, then it looses its appeal to most geeks since they will consider it, well, to be polite, a waste of time watching.
For example, there is that techísh column in the Nation, written by a dude called Sam, I think. I would most certainly postulate that he is forced to simplify it.
Larry Madowo used to have a very nice techie show, where he was not at liberty to dumb it down, and it was great! But, it was positioned at around mid day, who watches tv at that time really?
Unless of course, media houses are not the distribution medium, in which case the aforementioned catch 22 does not exist.

Question: Who is the target group? IT geeks like you guys or everyday users of consumer electronic goods or would it be those interested in tech but not so good at it?. The best in my view would be a review of gadgets like phones, Cameras, DVD players, TVs howto's etc things that everyone uses with a dash of next gen tech in there. For more IT geeks a magazine or a webcast would be a better medium to use in my opinion. On Thu, Mar 28, 2013 at 12:15 PM, Okechukwu <okechukwu@gmail.com> wrote:

I fully agree..The target should be anyone who is interested in technology. Remember that TV shows are all about ratings. may be a tiny section on hardcore stuff but 95% should be like IT for dummies. pardon the pun! Imagine ordinary people on FB learning how easy their account can be hacked or simple things as preventing stalkers from accessing their profile.

Habari Peoples of Skunkworks! Sometime back I was privileged to be taken on a tour of the Pan African Group digital transmission site at Limuru and there were quite some attention-grabbing discoveries which I hope in a way can be handy as we set up this tech show/Channel. The group provides a platform for any licensed broadcaster out there who wants to reach any specific audience in Kenya. Whereas the viewers would gain from clear pictures the local broadcaster will benefit from reduction of operating costs since they would not need to heavily finance the distribution of their content as the case is for analogue transmissions thus leaving more time and resources to concentrate on the content. This means that we can have a techies TV channel with the only requirement being a licence from CCK citing we are a broadcaster. All the Pan African Group would need from us would be the copy of the licence and what we intend to air even in soft copy plus the chums of course.

That

@Bogi, I can't remember how I came by this information, but this is
what
I know...
For a show to have marketable appeal to the major media
houses, it
needs to have a large enough potential marketable audience.
And therein lies the catch 22.
For a techie show to have a large audience for make financial sense to the media houses, it needs to be dumbed down. The moment you dumb
it
down, then it looses its appeal to most geeks since they will consider

Sometime back I was privileged to be taken on a tour of the Pan African Group digital transmission site at Limuru and there were quite some attention-grabbing discoveries which I hope in a way can be handy as we set up this tech show/Channel.
The group provides a platform for any licensed broadcaster out there who wants to reach any specific audience in Kenya. Whereas the viewers would gain from clear pictures the local broadcaster will benefit from reduction of operating costs since they would not need to heavily finance the distribution of their content as the case is for analogue transmissions thus leaving more time and resources to concentrate on the content.
This means that we can have a techies TV channel with the only requirement being a licence from CCK citing we are a broadcaster. All the Pan African Group would need from us would be the copy of the licence and what we intend to air even in soft copy plus the chums of course. If wewant the channel to be only viewed in Nairobi then they can do that for us and that also applies to any other location. Na pia ukitaka watumie Uplink

That

@Bogi, I can't remember how I came by this information, but this is
what
I know...
For a show to have marketable appeal to the major media
houses, it
needs to have a large enough potential marketable audience.
And therein lies the catch 22.
For a techie show to have a large audience for make financial sense to the media houses, it needs to be dumbed down. The moment you dumb
it
down, then it looses its appeal to most geeks since they will consider
it,
well, to be polite, a waste of time watching.
For example, there is that techísh column in the Nation,
written
by a dude called Sam, I think. I would most certainly postulate that he
is
forced to simplify it.

take it as my personal idea and champion it :-) Can we get a team on board and start working!

In response to what @Peter has said, maybe the distribution of
the
show(s) could be done via other mediums like DVD sets, a Website (
buni.tv
maybe or something similar), perhaps a Youtube channel for starters, ftp downloads ......
Schools and other educational institutions can be targeted.
That
way, you are not implicitly required to dumb-down the material while reaching a substantially large audience all at once.

@Bogi, I can't remember how I came by this information, but this is
what
I know...
For a show to have marketable appeal to the major media
houses, it
needs to have a large enough potential marketable audience.
And therein lies the catch 22.
For a techie show to have a large audience for make financial sense to the media houses, it needs to be dumbed down. The moment you dumb
it
down, then it looses its appeal to most geeks since they will consider
it,
well, to be polite, a waste of time watching.
For example, there is that techísh column in the Nation,
written
by a dude called Sam, I think. I would most certainly postulate that he
is
forced to simplify it.
Larry Madowo used to have a very nice techie show, where he
was
not at liberty to dumb it down, and it was great! But, it was
positioned
at around mid day, who watches tv at that time really?
Unless of course, media houses are not the distribution
medium, in
which case the aforementioned catch 22 does not exist.

greetings fellow Skunks,
It is evident from the list and the great IT minds we have
in
KE and now with Konza city coming up, I believe that the market is ripe for a special tech TV show
This could be an avenue to discuss anything from
latest products and softwares Geeky Gadgets Phone specs and benchmarking Gaming Hacking awareness (the IEBC clip fallacy could be put to
rest
here) Animations Benchmarking various internet providers and Mobile
providers
the list is endless. Here is another idea, what better way
than
to get our best minds to produce and host it. This can be owned
by us,
the skunks
We can take it this idea up, conceptualise and, host it and sell it to a major station
What say you?

Habari Peoples of Skunkworks!
Sometime back I was privileged to be taken on a tour of the Pan African Group digital transmission site at Limuru and there were quite some attention-grabbing discoveries which I hope in a way can be handy as we set up this tech show/Channel.
The group provides a platform for any licensed broadcaster out there who wants to reach any specific audience in Kenya. Whereas the viewers would gain from clear pictures the local broadcaster will benefit from reduction of operating costs since they would not need to heavily finance the distribution of their content as the case is for analogue transmissions thus leaving more time and resources to concentrate on the content.
This means that we can have a techies TV channel with the only requirement being a licence from CCK citing we are a broadcaster. All the Pan African Group would need from us would be the copy of the licence and what we intend to air even in soft copy plus the chums of course. If we want the channel to be only viewed in Nairobi then they can do that for us and that also applies to any other location. Na pia ukitaka watumie Uplink
My two cents worthy, Cheers,

@Stephen We currently do not have any mailing list. the last time we asked for volunteer PM and we couldn't get any. The first step we could take is have a committee or a group of guys who would be handling various tasks to realize our goal e.g somebody in charge of content, publicity/marketing, organizing the show etc regards Calvin On Thu, May 16, 2013 at 10:46 AM, Stephen <wanjaustev@gmail.com> wrote:
My suggestion would be to create a new mailing list for the special working group interested in this idea. That is in the event that there was non or what is the best way forward? Or even better how far have we gone with this?

Habari Peoples of Skunkworks!
Sometime back I was privileged to be taken on a tour of the Pan African Group digital transmission site at Limuru and there were quite some attention-grabbing discoveries which I hope in a way can be handy as we set up this tech show/Channel.
The group provides a platform for any licensed broadcaster out there who wants to reach any specific audience in Kenya. Whereas the viewers would gain from clear pictures the local broadcaster will benefit from reduction of operating costs since they would not need to heavily finance the distribution of their content as the case is for analogue transmissions thus leaving more time and resources to concentrate on the content.
This means that we can have a techies TV channel with the only requirement being a licence from CCK citing we are a broadcaster. All the Pan African Group would need from us would be the copy of the licence and what we intend to air even in soft copy plus the chums of course. If we want the channel to be only viewed in Nairobi then they can do that for us and that also applies to any other location. Na pia ukitaka watumie Uplink
My two cents worthy, Cheers,

I fully agree..The target should be anyone who is
interested in technology. Remember that TV shows are all about ratings. may be a tiny section on hardcore stuff but 95% should be like IT for dummies. pardon the pun! Imagine ordinary people on FB learning how easy their account can be hacked or simple things as preventing stalkers from accessing their profile. Reviewing useful websites etc
Of course I am in... :-) Unfortunately its a bit tricky at the moment to volunteer as the lead

@Calvin, why don't you do the PM work? All you need to have is the interest to do it. However, if we all sit on our posteriors waiting for someone else to start, call a meeting, setup a committee, or setup a mailing list, well, nothing will get done. You could probably start by having a conversation with @Martin Chege to familiarize yourself with what is required. I am sure if you contacted Larry Madowo, he might have some insights. You might also want to contact everyone who has commented positively on this idea, maybe asking them what they are willing to provide... Bottom line, *do something!* * * On Thu, May 16, 2013 at 10:56 AM, Calvin Omari <calvinebarongo@gmail.com>wrote:
@Stephen
We currently do not have any mailing list. the last time we asked for volunteer PM and we couldn't get any.
The first step we could take is have a committee or a group of guys who would be handling various tasks to realize our goal
e.g somebody in charge of content, publicity/marketing, organizing the show etc
regards Calvin

Habari Peoples of Skunkworks!
Sometime back I was privileged to be taken on a tour of the Pan African Group digital transmission site at Limuru and there were quite some attention-grabbing discoveries which I hope in a way can be handy as we set up this tech show/Channel.
The group provides a platform for any licensed broadcaster out there who wants to reach any specific audience in Kenya. Whereas the viewers would gain from clear pictures the local broadcaster will benefit from reduction of operating costs since they would not need to heavily finance the distribution of their content as the case is for analogue transmissions thus leaving more time and resources to concentrate on the content.
This means that we can have a techies TV channel with the only requirement being a licence from CCK citing we are a broadcaster. All the Pan African Group would need from us would be the copy of the licence and what we intend to air even in soft copy plus the chums of course. If we want the channel to be only viewed in Nairobi then they can do that for us and that also applies to any other location. Na pia ukitaka watumie Uplink
My two cents worthy, Cheers,

I fully agree..The target should be anyone who is
interested in technology. Remember that TV shows are all about ratings. may be a tiny section on hardcore stuff but 95% should be like IT for dummies. pardon the pun! Imagine ordinary people on FB learning how easy their account can be hacked or simple things as preventing stalkers from accessing their profile. Reviewing useful websites etc
Of course I am in... :-) Unfortunately its a bit tricky at the moment to volunteer as the lead

@Martin Chege, what branches of Tech do you think the should focus on, from your experience? I have a feeling if we start talking DBs many viewers will be looking forward to the commercials. Reason I am asking this is so that we can categorise our topics, and get the right experts so to say. This will help in getting sponsorships since we can contact the firms that deal in the topic being discussed beforehand and have them prepare something for the show. The show would most likely meet the following requirements: - Instructional: Provide instructions to complete a certain task. The task should be easily identifiable with with majority of users. (No need to tell how to set up iptables). - Explanatory: This is where the show shall seek to explain concepts and phenomena. Again, the content should be captivating and one that is familiar. The level of detail shall also need to be considered. - Experimental (for lack of a better word) This is where we come up with techie scenarios that require interrogation and research. (There was a thread about Kenyan mythbusters show. This is where it would feature). The topics/items to be interrogated and should not be things we can google. This would be one of my best features of the show - Inspirational: Some part of the show should be dedicated to industry members to be interviewed. Just the normal stuff, you know, how long have you been in IT, what made you choose this line, challenges, what would you advise someone aspiring to get into IT, the works - Informational: This section is for announcing tech news. The news should really be new and interesting. Again, as much as possible, keep it local and avoid copy paste from techcrunch. - Challenging: The show can sponsor (in ideas, not necessarily cash) techie challenges to the education institutions. Rules of entry and participation, evaluation, etc shall be decided by skunks. - Discovery: The show should be able to create/discover new (and upcoming) trends, etc in the tech industry that require attention. The target could be students - new programming languages, companies - new areas to invest in IT, new IT courses being offered. The reviews should be incisive enough to generate positive action from audience. - Bring change that can be seen and felt If this is going to be a skunk show, it should go past the screens and living rooms. This could be the chance to get Skunkworks known. A problem I have with the media is when they report something very interesting and after that there is no followup. I would really like a show that takes us back to review progress of something that was brought to our attention some time in the past. Challenges: - Ownership: Who owns the show? Skunkworks is too amorphous right now to effectively manage such. Its not really a structured legal entity. (Better deal is to create the show and own it, screw skunks. Sucks but c'est la vie) - Financials: How to make cash and after making the cash, how to spend it. This will depend on the point above - Content: - Presentation etc for now On Thu, May 16, 2013 at 12:44 PM, Peter Karunyu <pkarunyu@gmail.com> wrote:
@Calvin, why don't you do the PM work? All you need to have is the interest to do it. However, if we all sit on our posteriors waiting for someone else to start, call a meeting, setup a committee, or setup a mailing list, well, nothing will get done.
You could probably start by having a conversation with @Martin Chege to familiarize yourself with what is required. I am sure if you contacted Larry Madowo, he might have some insights. You might also want to contact everyone who has commented positively on this idea, maybe asking them what they are willing to provide...
Bottom line, *do something!* * *

@Stephen
We currently do not have any mailing list. the last time we asked for volunteer PM and we couldn't get any.
The first step we could take is have a committee or a group of guys who would be handling various tasks to realize our goal
e.g somebody in charge of content, publicity/marketing, organizing the show etc

Habari Peoples of Skunkworks!
Sometime back I was privileged to be taken on a tour of the Pan African Group digital transmission site at Limuru and there were quite some attention-grabbing discoveries which I hope in a way can be handy as we set up this tech show/Channel.
The group provides a platform for any licensed broadcaster out there who wants to reach any specific audience in Kenya. Whereas the viewers would gain from clear pictures the local broadcaster will benefit from reduction of operating costs since they would not need to heavily finance the distribution of their content as the case is for analogue transmissions thus leaving more time and resources to concentrate on the content.
This means that we can have a techies TV channel with the only requirement being a licence from CCK citing we are a broadcaster. All the Pan African Group would need from us would be the copy of the licence and what we intend to air even in soft copy plus the chums of course. If we want the channel to be only viewed in Nairobi then they can do that for us and that also applies to any other location. Na pia ukitaka watumie Uplink
My two cents worthy, Cheers,

@ Bwana Lawi i have learnt that product descriptions attract attention. Gadgets, softwares, websites etc. Then topical issues and opportunity they present like ICT and vision 2030. project reviews like when I did one on the success of iHub. Finally Techpreneur story. The program can be structure in 4 sections. 1. Topical issue 2. Project review 3. Techpreneur 4. Product review. Regards, Martin On 16 May 2013 13:36, Bwana Lawi <mail2lawi@gmail.com> wrote:
@Martin Chege, what branches of Tech do you think the should focus on, from your experience?
I have a feeling if we start talking DBs many viewers will be looking forward to the commercials.
Reason I am asking this is so that we can categorise our topics, and get the right experts so to say. This will help in getting sponsorships since we can contact the firms that deal in the topic being discussed beforehand and have them prepare something for the show.
The show would most likely meet the following requirements:
- Instructional: Provide instructions to complete a certain task. The task should be easily identifiable with with majority of users. (No need to tell how to set up iptables).
- Explanatory: This is where the show shall seek to explain concepts and phenomena. Again, the content should be captivating and one that is familiar. The level of detail shall also need to be considered.
- Experimental (for lack of a better word) This is where we come up with techie scenarios that require interrogation and research. (There was a thread about Kenyan mythbusters show. This is where it would feature). The topics/items to be interrogated and should not be things we can google. This would be one of my best features of the show
- Inspirational: Some part of the show should be dedicated to industry members to be interviewed. Just the normal stuff, you know, how long have you been in IT, what made you choose this line, challenges, what would you advise someone aspiring to get into IT, the works
- Informational: This section is for announcing tech news. The news should really be new and interesting. Again, as much as possible, keep it local and avoid copy paste from techcrunch.
- Challenging: The show can sponsor (in ideas, not necessarily cash) techie challenges to the education institutions. Rules of entry and participation, evaluation, etc shall be decided by skunks.
- Discovery: The show should be able to create/discover new (and upcoming) trends, etc in the tech industry that require attention. The target could be students - new programming languages, companies - new areas to invest in IT, new IT courses being offered. The reviews should be incisive enough to generate positive action from audience.
- Bring change that can be seen and felt If this is going to be a skunk show, it should go past the screens and living rooms. This could be the chance to get Skunkworks known.
A problem I have with the media is when they report something very interesting and after that there is no followup. I would really like a show that takes us back to review progress of something that was brought to our attention some time in the past.
Challenges:
- Ownership: Who owns the show? Skunkworks is too amorphous right now to effectively manage such. Its not really a structured legal entity. (Better deal is to create the show and own it, screw skunks. Sucks but c'est la vie)
- Financials: How to make cash and after making the cash, how to spend it. This will depend on the point above
- Content:
- Presentation
etc for now

@Calvin, why don't you do the PM work? All you need to have is the interest to do it. However, if we all sit on our posteriors waiting for someone else to start, call a meeting, setup a committee, or setup a mailing list, well, nothing will get done.
You could probably start by having a conversation with @Martin Chege to familiarize yourself with what is required. I am sure if you contacted Larry Madowo, he might have some insights. You might also want to contact everyone who has commented positively on this idea, maybe asking them what they are willing to provide...
Bottom line, *do something!* * *

@Stephen
We currently do not have any mailing list. the last time we asked for volunteer PM and we couldn't get any.
The first step we could take is have a committee or a group of guys who would be handling various tasks to realize our goal
e.g somebody in charge of content, publicity/marketing, organizing the show etc

Habari Peoples of Skunkworks!
Sometime back I was privileged to be taken on a tour of the Pan African Group digital transmission site at Limuru and there were quite some attention-grabbing discoveries which I hope in a way can be handy as we set up this tech show/Channel.
The group provides a platform for any licensed broadcaster out there who wants to reach any specific audience in Kenya. Whereas the viewers would gain from clear pictures the local broadcaster will benefit from reduction of operating costs since they would not need to heavily finance the distribution of their content as the case is for analogue transmissions thus leaving more time and resources to concentrate on the content.
This means that we can have a techies TV channel with the only requirement being a licence from CCK citing we are a broadcaster. All the Pan African Group would need from us would be the copy of the licence and what we intend to air even in soft copy plus the chums of course. If we want the channel to be only viewed in Nairobi then they can do that for us and that also applies to any other location. Na pia ukitaka watumie Uplink
My two cents worthy, Cheers,

My feeling is that before we go the station or even the show way, start with a "simple IT Tips" segment that is about 2 or 3 minutes long that demistifies popular and unpopular gadgets, mediums, terminologies and everyday IT related stuff. Learn from this and map a way ahead. Byte what we can chew. George On Thu, May 16, 2013 at 12:44 PM, Peter Karunyu <pkarunyu@gmail.com> wrote:
@Calvin, why don't you do the PM work? All you need to have is the interest to do it. However, if we all sit on our posteriors waiting for someone else to start, call a meeting, setup a committee, or setup a mailing list, well, nothing will get done.
You could probably start by having a conversation with @Martin Chege to familiarize yourself with what is required. I am sure if you contacted Larry Madowo, he might have some insights. You might also want to contact everyone who has commented positively on this idea, maybe asking them what they are willing to provide...
Bottom line, *do something!* * *

@Stephen
We currently do not have any mailing list. the last time we asked for volunteer PM and we couldn't get any.
The first step we could take is have a committee or a group of guys who would be handling various tasks to realize our goal
e.g somebody in charge of content, publicity/marketing, organizing the show etc

Habari Peoples of Skunkworks!
Sometime back I was privileged to be taken on a tour of the Pan African Group digital transmission site at Limuru and there were quite some attention-grabbing discoveries which I hope in a way can be handy as we set up this tech show/Channel.
The group provides a platform for any licensed broadcaster out there who wants to reach any specific audience in Kenya. Whereas the viewers would gain from clear pictures the local broadcaster will benefit from reduction of operating costs since they would not need to heavily finance the distribution of their content as the case is for analogue transmissions thus leaving more time and resources to concentrate on the content.
This means that we can have a techies TV channel with the only requirement being a licence from CCK citing we are a broadcaster. All the Pan African Group would need from us would be the copy of the licence and what we intend to air even in soft copy plus the chums of course. If we want the channel to be only viewed in Nairobi then they can do that for us and that also applies to any other location. Na pia ukitaka watumie Uplink
My two cents worthy, Cheers,

I would suggest to start small, a simple "Skunkworks Kenya: This Week in Tech" type Youtube channel. The unavailability of content on demand right now due to the exclusive nature of local program contracts is a huge weakness in our local content as provided by the TV networks. Curate a significant amount of content and acquire an audience, and then have something solid to pitch to the TV networks,while still retaining online availability, instead of pitching a concept to them. The above is easy to achieve with a simple location, good camera and quality content. We have said it time and again, everything is moving towards data and streaming services. Why would you want to move backwards and start from the older model of exclusive TV content that is not accessible on demand?

video shot, I can arrange the shoot location (probably one of the hotels)
I would like to help but to begin with I only own a point-and-shoot camera. My recommendation is that someone should get a camera capable of capturing quality high defintion sound and video. Any volunteer(s)? What I would be very glad to give a hand in is with peer-reviewing of materials presented. Grammar correction and all. Venue I think should be rotated among the tech hubs in the country. Thank you. Martin.
I am also creating a youtube channel, unless @william has created one

That's very cool! @Martin why don't you guide us on how to get the best but affordable
video shot, I can arrange the shoot location (probably one of the hotels)
I would like to help but to begin with I only own a point-and-shoot camera. My recommendation is that someone should get a camera capable of capturing quality high defintion sound and video. Any volunteer(s)? What I would be very glad to give a hand in is with peer-reviewing of materials presented. Grammar correction and all. Venue I think should be rotated among the tech hubs in the country. Thank you. Martin.
I am also creating a youtube channel, unless @william has created one

Since it's a tech show could it be like a launch pad for local gadgets. Eg the engineer who was making a plane and others. Just a thought
@ William, excellent idea. But would like to point out, the reason for using mass media i.e. TV, Radio is because media knows how to package even the most boring concept to appeal to target audience. So, as we go online we still need advise from someone who has been in the media with some experience. I can propose Dennis Kioko in this list. He is a Tech Writer with CIO magazine. And I am sure he can provide good input. Regards, On 19 May 2013 18:59, kris njoroge <krsnjo@gmail.com> wrote:

@Calvin, may I suggest that, where possible, you delegate some tasks. That way, you don't become over-burdened and exhaust your reserves of "*pysche*". As I proposed earlier, anyone who has commented on this thread has some sort of interest in it, making them possibly be willing to undertake some tasks.

I am currently based in SA hence I couldnt handle that role. In the meanwhile I ll be happy to chip in trendy ideas that i believe have worked done here. Definitely this will be a success if packaged well Apparently internet access penetration in Kenya is higher than SA. How about that!! When I introduced this topic up i knew that we are a power house and can definitely pull it off.

I definitely like the excitement that this thread has elicited and the turn its taking. I've got a few pointers though. In 2010, i had this idea and i thought it was time to get our tech out there, i even made a prototype for it and approached several media houses selling the idea to them. The reality however was different, the show was to either come in 13 or 25 episodes and i had to buy the slot for all these shows (which was about 350k per 25mins then), this is where it was even harder because i had to get a sponsor to the show to buy those slots for me to air. Considering that there's the cost of production also to be footed by the the sponsor and for me to get my bread out of it, it meant i had to allocate a lot of airtime to the sponsor to an extent that the show would not look independent rather it would be free airtime for the sponsor. And how many sponsors do we know who have such deep pockets and would be interested in tech shows? That drew a thin line between the show's motive and the ownership. To cut the long story short, i still have my demo with me as it didn't make any sense to have a show that would feature anything that deemed to not be inline with the sponsors interest. That then explain why the major tech shows, BBC Click and CNBC's Tech@Work are initiatives of the media house themselves as the overheads are seen as any other operational cost. With that said, i think a youtube channel would do for starts, PM can start a project on www.asana.com and we hope that with the mobile penetration and a bit of campaign we can drive viewership from all corners of Kenya and beyond. We still need some sponsor of some sort since a quality camera don't come cheap, at about 50-70k or so per day would afford you services from someone who's worth their name in that field. Bwana PM, i suggest we start small, look around get some more ideas, get right combination in the team and take on the open seas of opportunities. My best wishes.

Hi, My opinion is that if people are interested they start as low as they possibly can. You only need a decent camera, I have one that can take shots at 14 mega-pixel and can do a decent job. The person who suggested the Youtube channel had a brilliant concept since we do not have funds to sink into the project. We do that as we wait for things to improve once the show catches on. The problem I am seeing right now is that individuals may have already started commercializing the idea even before the first step has been taken. I could be wrong (once again) but if this is done, could be a direct route to failure. Let those who want to assist meet sooner rather than later, face time is quite important early on. Let people do mediocre work as they find themselves. I am sure things will get better. Martin. On Mon, May 20, 2013 at 11:27 PM, Paul Mathu <mails.mathu@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi,
My opinion is that if people are interested they start as low as they possibly can. You only need a decent camera, I have one that can take shots at 14 mega-pixel and can do a decent job. The person who suggested the Youtube channel had a brilliant concept since we do not have funds to sink into the project. We do that as we wait for things to improve once the show catches on.
The problem I am seeing right now is that individuals may have already started commercializing the idea even before the first step has been taken. I could be wrong (once again) but if this is done, could be a direct route to failure.
Let those who want to assist meet sooner rather than later, face time is quite important early on. Let people do mediocre work as they find themselves. I am sure things will get better.

I dont know how I missed out on this but I like the idea. I have been toying around with similar thoughts but mine were just for Open Source. I will look for a way to share the GoOpen content that was done in SA some time back for inspiration. This was a 13 episode Tech show highlighting open source software. I am sure it can also work for the rest of tech. I will also be happy to participate actively in planning anything and getting things going. Is Saturday afternoon a good time to meet?

My advice, start ; shoot something this weekend, post it on you tube. Interview yourself if you have to. All you need is a he camera and a tripod. Later you can worry about other things. This is advice from someone that went to a lot of trouble planning and even bought kit for my idea. Just start. Do something for this idea this week.

Hi,
My opinion is that if people are interested they start as low as they possibly can. You only need a decent camera, I have one that can take shots at 14 mega-pixel and can do a decent job. The person who suggested the Youtube channel had a brilliant concept since we do not have funds to sink into the project. We do that as we wait for things to improve once the show catches on.
The problem I am seeing right now is that individuals may have already started commercializing the idea even before the first step has been taken. I could be wrong (once again) but if this is done, could be a direct route to failure.
Let those who want to assist meet sooner rather than later, face time is quite important early on. Let people do mediocre work as they find themselves. I am sure things will get better.

I definitely like the excitement that this thread has elicited and the turn its taking. I've got a few pointers though.
In 2010, i had this idea and i thought it was time to get our tech out there, i even made a prototype for it and approached several media houses selling the idea to them. The reality however was different, the show was to either come in 13 or 25 episodes and i had to buy the slot for all these shows (which was about 350k per 25mins then), this is where it was even harder because i had to get a sponsor to the show to buy those slots for me to air. Considering that there's the cost of production also to be footed by the the sponsor and for me to get my bread out of it, it meant i had to allocate a lot of airtime to the sponsor to an extent that the show would not look independent rather it would be free airtime for the sponsor. And how many sponsors do we know who have such deep pockets and would be interested in tech shows? That drew a thin line between the show's motive and the ownership.
To cut the long story short, i still have my demo with me as it didn't make any sense to have a show that would feature anything that deemed to not be inline with the sponsors interest. That then explain why the major tech shows, BBC Click and CNBC's Tech@Work are initiatives of the media house themselves as the overheads are seen as any other operational cost. With that said, i think a youtube channel would do for starts, PM can start a project on www.asana.com and we hope that with the mobile penetration and a bit of campaign we can drive viewership from all corners of Kenya and beyond. We still need some sponsor of some sort since a quality camera don't come cheap, at about 50-70k or so per day would afford you services from someone who's worth their name in that field. Bwana PM, i suggest we start small, look around get some more ideas, get right combination in the team and take on the open seas of opportunities.
My best wishes.

Apparently internet access penetration in Kenya is higher than SA. How about that!! When I introduced this topic up i knew that we are a power house and can definitely pull it off.
There is a similar show down here that has been a success story.We could borrow a leaf or two

Hi Techies Kindly respond if you would like to be in the committee, we are setting up a meeting soon to jump start the project. Larry has been busy hence i have gotten his reply. Also if you have any ideas plus those in the thread am collecting them and will respond before the end of the week with a list of all raised ideas to be used in the first meeting.

This is advice from someone that went to a lot of trouble planning and even bought kit for my idea.
Just start. Do something for this idea this week. Maybe not too fancy but start the show

Hi,
My opinion is that if people are interested they start as low as they possibly can. You only need a decent camera, I have one that can take shots at 14 mega-pixel and can do a decent job. The person who suggested the Youtube channel had a brilliant concept since we do not have funds to sink into the project. We do that as we wait for things to improve once the show catches on.
The problem I am seeing right now is that individuals may have already started commercializing the idea even before the first step has been taken. I could be wrong (once again) but if this is done, could be a direct route to failure.
Let those who want to assist meet sooner rather than later, face time is quite important early on. Let people do mediocre work as they find themselves. I am sure things will get better.

I definitely like the excitement that this thread has elicited and the turn its taking. I've got a few pointers though.
In 2010, i had this idea and i thought it was time to get our tech out there, i even made a prototype for it and approached several media houses selling the idea to them. The reality however was different, the show was to either come in 13 or 25 episodes and i had to buy the slot for all these shows (which was about 350k per 25mins then), this is where it was even harder because i had to get a sponsor to the show to buy those slots for me to air. Considering that there's the cost of production also to be footed by the the sponsor and for me to get my bread out of it, it meant i had to allocate a lot of airtime to the sponsor to an extent that the show would not look independent rather it would be free airtime for the sponsor. And how many sponsors do we know who have such deep pockets and would be interested in tech shows? That drew a thin line between the show's motive and the ownership.
To cut the long story short, i still have my demo with me as it didn't make any sense to have a show that would feature anything that deemed to not be inline with the sponsors interest. That then explain why the major tech shows, BBC Click and CNBC's Tech@Work are initiatives of the media house themselves as the overheads are seen as any other operational cost. With that said, i think a youtube channel would do for starts, PM can start a project on www.asana.com and we hope that with the mobile penetration and a bit of campaign we can drive viewership from all corners of Kenya and beyond. We still need some sponsor of some sort since a quality camera don't come cheap, at about 50-70k or so per day would afford you services from someone who's worth their name in that field. Bwana PM, i suggest we start small, look around get some more ideas, get right combination in the team and take on the open seas of opportunities.
My best wishes.

Hi,
My opinion is that if people are interested they start as low as they possibly can. You only need a decent camera, I have one that can take shots at 14 mega-pixel and can do a decent job. The person who suggested the Youtube channel had a brilliant concept since we do not have funds to sink into the project. We do that as we wait for things to improve once the show catches on.
The problem I am seeing right now is that individuals may have already started commercializing the idea even before the first step has been taken. I could be wrong (once again) but if this is done, could be a direct route to failure.
Let those who want to assist meet sooner rather than later, face time is quite important early on. Let people do mediocre work as they find themselves. I am sure things will get better.
Martin.

All you need is a he camera and a tripod. Later you can worry about other things.
This is advice from someone that went to a lot of trouble planning and even bought kit for my idea.
Just start. Do something for this idea this week. Maybe not too fancy but start the show

I dont know how I missed out on this but I like the idea. I have been toying around with similar thoughts but mine were just for Open Source. I will look for a way to share the GoOpen content that was done in SA some time back for inspiration. This was a 13 episode Tech show highlighting open source software. I am sure it can also work for the rest of tech.
I will also be happy to participate actively in planning anything and getting things going. Is Saturday afternoon a good time to meet?

Dear Listers, I would really like to attend the meet-up tomorrow but as things stand I will not be able to attend. I have discovered that some important points are being said here on the mailing list WRT top the tech show and they are getting 'lost' in this thread. Some people are volunteering to be part of the committee but their voluntarism somehow is getting lost in the thread. Yaani haionekani :) To try and keep things in a little bit of order, I have created an etherpad at [1] below which I hope shall get things in order. Anyone can edit it and we can also get a back up at any time off-line. You all know not all on the internet are on a good .... Another advantage of the etherpad is that it shall also serve as the secretary as the meeting goes on :) I hope you find it useful.

Thank you Steve. On the list on Etherpad I think you should also add people who have expressed interest from the threads but cannot make it today, like you or others who are not in the country at the moment. I also remember someone did mention that the meeting should be streamed online if that is possible ..... That in itself can be *the premiere* *Skunk Tech Show No. 0* { For coolness, use zero-based numbering used by Computing Scientists } Martin.

Hi! I will try to sift through this thread to find names of all volunteers and ideas to get this off the ground. However, the etherpad can be edited by anyone so long as they have a browser and access to the internet. It is a good way to collect ideas. Once again the link is [0] Cheers, Stephen 0. http://openetherpad.org/skunk-tech-show

I also think that there is an error in the spelling of the channel's name " SkunkTeckShow" <http://www.youtube.com/user/SkunkTeckShow?feature=guide>. If I am not wrong I think we agreed that the name is "SkunkKETechShow<http://www.youtube.com/user/SkunkTeckShow?feature=guide>" or something similar since Skunkworks is not entirely unique to us(?)

Did this initiative come to fruition? There's a new show (Awesome Kenya) on NTV, airing on Saturdays, that captures the same concept. Here's the advert appearing in today's daily : https://www.dropbox.com/s/scmn8f9l0ilzkvm/AwesomeKenya.pdf Tony.
I happened to have been in the first scheduled meeting, where I had the pleasure of meeting one Calvin and one Michael? We came up with a bunch of ideas, but the bottom line ended being: *how do we finance the production?* I didnt manage to attend any other meetings though...

hi, It would sell if well packaged. I've been writing tech/business articles and attract very good audience. Because all it takes is to focus on the business and society i.e. which benefits does specific technology offer to the society and business. I had such an idea in 2010, i proposed to Chris Kirubi, since i was writing for Capital then. But at that point, he was so much concerned with his online job listing idea at Capitalfm.co.ke. I fully support the idea and i can provide some guidelines on how to package it. Thanks, On 16 May 2013 10:42, Cikz <jociku@gmail.com> wrote:

Habari Peoples of Skunkworks!
Sometime back I was privileged to be taken on a tour of the Pan African Group digital transmission site at Limuru and there were quite some attention-grabbing discoveries which I hope in a way can be handy as we set up this tech show/Channel.
The group provides a platform for any licensed broadcaster out there who wants to reach any specific audience in Kenya. Whereas the viewers would gain from clear pictures the local broadcaster will benefit from reduction of operating costs since they would not need to heavily finance the distribution of their content as the case is for analogue transmissions thus leaving more time and resources to concentrate on the content.
This means that we can have a techies TV channel with the only requirement being a licence from CCK citing we are a broadcaster. All the Pan African Group would need from us would be the copy of the licence and what we intend to air even in soft copy plus the chums of course. If wewant the channel to be only viewed in Nairobi then they can do that for us and that also applies to any other location. Na pia ukitaka watumie Uplink

I fully agree..The target should be anyone who is interested in technology. Remember that TV shows are all about ratings. may be a tiny section on hardcore stuff but 95% should be like IT for dummies. pardon the pun! Imagine ordinary people on FB learning how easy their account can be hacked or simple things as preventing stalkers from accessing their profile. Reviewing useful websites etc
Of course I am in... :-) Unfortunately its a bit tricky at the moment to volunteer as the lead

I would want in on this one ... the Target should not be primarily Tech guys since then everyone runs away and goes to watch the damn Soaps ... how about even reviewing the normal house hold items to add some taste to it all ...

Question: Who is the target group? IT geeks like you guys or everyday users of consumer electronic goods or would it be those interested in
tech
but not so good at it?. The best in my view would be a review of
gadgets
like phones, Cameras, DVD players, TVs howto's etc things that
everyone uses
with a dash of next gen tech in there. For more IT geeks a magazine
or a
webcast would be a better medium to use in my opinion.

@Peter we may also want to: -> review languages -> open source projects -> tooling(git vs svn, netbeans vs eclipse) -> Gaming(PC&Consoles) reviews and hacks -> Maybe a how to for Dummies(eg disable usb port)

Good idea. As long as we try to maintain brand neutrality of the
tech
products (within reason) we should be fine. This will also help
the
idea mutate into a sustainable one in the long term.

I am up to this, and able to influence its broadcasting too - so
all
we need is to put plan into action and move one, otherwise, I

In response to what @Peter has said, maybe the distribution of
the
show(s) could be done via other mediums like DVD sets, a Website (
buni.tv
maybe or something similar), perhaps a Youtube channel for starters, ftp downloads ......
Schools and other educational institutions can be targeted.
That
way, you are not implicitly required to dumb-down the material while reaching a substantially large audience all at once.

@Bogi, I can't remember how I came by this information, but this is
what
I know...
For a show to have marketable appeal to the major media
houses, it
needs to have a large enough potential marketable audience.
And therein lies the catch 22.
For a techie show to have a large audience for make financial sense to the media houses, it needs to be dumbed down. The moment you dumb
it
down, then it looses its appeal to most geeks since they will consider
it,
well, to be polite, a waste of time watching.
For example, there is that techísh column in the Nation,
written
by a dude called Sam, I think. I would most certainly postulate that he
is
forced to simplify it.
Larry Madowo used to have a very nice techie show, where he
was
not at liberty to dumb it down, and it was great! But, it was
positioned
at around mid day, who watches tv at that time really?
Unless of course, media houses are not the distribution
medium, in
which case the aforementioned catch 22 does not exist.

Ideally there would have to be a direction from some(one/organization). I'm to assume its skunks.
Why not get the space and invite us.

greetings fellow Skunks,
It is evident from the list and the great IT minds we have
in
KE and now with Konza city coming up, I believe that the market is ripe for a special tech TV show
This could be an avenue to discuss anything from
latest products and softwares Geeky Gadgets Phone specs and benchmarking Gaming Hacking awareness (the IEBC clip fallacy could be put to
rest
here) Animations Benchmarking various internet providers and Mobile
providers
the list is endless. Here is another idea, what better way
than
to get our best minds to produce and host it. This can be owned
by us,
the skunks
We can take it this idea up, conceptualise and, host it and sell it to a major station
What say you?
