Hi,
I've been lurking on the list for several weeks now and I think it's time to become a bit more active.
My name is Brian Longwe and I manage an email service to Christian Missions and organisations in Nairobi, Kenya. I am also the Dep. Secretary on the East African Internet Association, a gathering of ISPs, organizations and individual who are concerned about the development of the Internet and related technologies in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.
The Association has been very active in the past months in lobbying through the privatization of Kenya's telecom sector. The Kenya Telecommunications Bill which has just been made law is an excellent Bill compared to the severely limiting and autocratic draft that was published a year ago. This has come about mostly through the activities of the Association together with other social interest groups in Kenya.
The EAIA has in recent days been talking more and more about the severe deficiency of skilled xNIX/ Linux administrators, programmers etc... The Association is seeking to address this need through workshops and seminars in the coming year where the existing "gurus" and "semi-gurus" will share their knowledge and seek to broaden one another's skills as well as equip others.
Ultimately, the Association would be interested in carrying out real workshops, where experts in the field can come in and impart knowledge to the attendants. This is where I put my request to this list's audience. We need experts in Linux / xNIX / TCPIP / Security etc... who can come to Kenya and conduct training sessions/workshops. What advice can you give us?
Thanks,
Brian
