[kictanet] LPA Workshop on 23rd May

[Evans Ikua]

Dear All,
The Linux Professional Association of Kenya wishes to invite all  
companies and professionals who use and support Linux and Open Source  
based solutions to a one day workshop on Friday, 23rd May 2008,  
starting at 8.30 am.

The workshop will be held at the Hotel 680. Top on the agenda will be  
to discuss the Public Procurement and Disposal Act 2005 and how it  
affects the supply of Open Source software to the Government, the  
biggest spender in the country. The rest of the agenda will be  
circulated to the interested partcipants.

Lately, the LPA has been involved in various successful advocacy  
campaigns targeted at Government procurement and tendering procedures.  
Our aim is to have a level playing field that allows the participation  
of our members in public procurement.

The meeting will be open to members and non-members. Those interested  
in participating in this workshop can get in touch with me off the  
list. Space is limited and everything will be catered for by the LPA.


Best regards all.
