"The distinctive digital experience in Nairobi inspires confidence in
its youthful community of programmers, bloggers and Web enthusiasts.
Over the past year, about 600 people in Nairobi — most under 25 — have
coalesced into a group called Skunk Works, sharing ideas and
encouraging new businesses. In June, it held an all-day workshop that
included sessions on using the Android phone operating system from
Google, developing applications for digital maps and creating content
for mobile phones."

By the way, Wilfred was working on the Ushahidi iPhone app when Gregg
talked to him.  :)
