I would be more interested in recognizing much more than 'development'. We seem to always fail to realize that software is not just about coding. Coding is but a small part of the entire process.This is why there are so many fly by wire companies developing poor solutions and it is very difficult to find good software engineers in Kenya I think the award should be 'software producer of the year' and take into account the following processes - Architecture & design - Project management - Look & feel - Development - Testing - Deployment - Support On Fri, Jan 22, 2010 at 9:30 AM, Imelda Mueni <mueni0@gmail.com> wrote:

I also advocate for different categories. Some of the best coders are poor designers, and some of the best designers cant code to save their lives. Therefore it would be interesting to see who excels in the different areas. I believe there is a lot of skill in Kenya. However, unearthing these guys is a different matter altogether. By the way, is it me, or does the Computer Society of Kenya always reward the same guys? I attended some of their events of Website of the Year etc, and to be honest I didnt think too much work had been put in. On Fri, Jan 22, 2010 at 9:36 AM, Rad! <conradakunga@gmail.com> wrote:

I'm not a developer either but this is a very promising idea. Calvin, I like your trail of thought. I think its its up to us skunks to make it happen, maybe eventually there will be more awards for other fields in the industry...champion it!

May the winner of the prize contact me after they get the prize. I need a few professional websites done, not now, but after the competition . . . On 1/22/10, Humphrey Ngoiya <hngoiya@yahoo.co.uk> wrote:

around 2005 I saw a feature about the webee awards, http://www.webbyawards.com/, whats interesting about them is that speeches from the winners must be 5 words only, so some people said "dont know what to say" http://www.webbyawards.com/press/speeches.php. i hope what you are planning becomes as succeessful.
