For those interested, you can visit the site [ www.sciencehackday.or.ke ] for more information on the event. Those willing to participate can share their hack ideas on [ http://sciencehackday.pbworks.com/Nairobi/ ]. Regards, Martin.
One last bit: One of the event organizers, actually the Kenyan ambassador for Science Hack day participated in the event at San Francisco in November this year. Their hack which involved visualizing and sonifying some sample data from the L.H.C's (Large Hadron Collider) Compact Muon Solenoid experiments It made it to the CERN Website [ http://cms.web.cern.ch/news/diving-cms-data-science-hack-day/ ]. Please lift off your ill-fitting fedoras in honour ......... Martin.

Happy new year Skunks. I have a very recent copy of the data from C.M.S experiments (CERN / LHC). If you are interested please get in touch we see what to do in preparation for SHD Nairobi. Dr. Matthew Bellis (Stanford SLAC) might also be coming in April to mentor those who will be involved in the LHC data Hack. I also have in my possession some source code and ideas to a project involving face recognition software (Web / iPhone). Those interested can make contact. Thank you. Martin.
Hello everyone, We only have 60 days remaining to Science Hack day Nairobi in April :) Dr. Matthew Bellis of Stanford University's SLAC project [ http://www.stanford.edu/group/burchat/cgi-bin/bellis_mediawiki/index.php/Mai...] has started giving personal coaching to those who intend to participate in the LHC data hack. If interested please contact either Morris ( mmwanga[at]kennesaw.edu ) or Martin ( martin.chiteri[at]gmail.com ) for the latest data sets and instructions to be used in subsequent exercises. These will build up to the main event so that it inspires those mentored to think up a new hack come D-day. Martin.
