How often do you guys meet in Nairobi? When things get better we can arrange to have video conference meetings so that us guys on the other side of the world can contribute. Microsoft Live Meeting is a good example of such an easy to set up and use technology. Someone can even present a demo sitting in his kitchen in Singapore... Just a thought. Thanks Riyaz,

Also, skype me if you want to be added to our chatroom - rbachani Juliana, Bob was actually very careful about the credits & they show up in the print version. Unfortunately not on the web version. We also forwarded the pictures to him ourselves ... Thanks Ory :)

Segeni - please make some baby doll ones?! i noticed the picture BDA africa used in the top left for the story on skunkworks used is uhmm, exactly like the one Hash took on this post (http://whiteafrican.com/?p=592). They should have credited him :( I like BDAfrica too, i dont mean to rain on their parade...but credit should be duly given if they lifted or borrowed the image from hash. That T-shirt is hot!

I believe this is very important strategy for increasing technical awareness and driving Kenyan startups towards the Silicon Valley type of IT infrastructure. I would like to get the contacts of Skunkworks or any of their points of contacts. I am an IT Security consultant working for EDS and doing consulting work with US Federal agency in Washington DC area. I think such groups need us to help where necessary. Cyber security is not well understood currently with most IT firms in Nairobi and that is something that needs to be emphasized. Its only technology that will get Kenyans out of this mess – India has successfully done that and people have been compelled to respect them. Vincent Mutongi Ory,
