"Ushahidi Wins an Open Source Award in Kenya!"
By Erik Hersman

"I'm really glad that I was able to accept the Kenya Humanitarian Open
Source Award for Ushahidi today. Permanent Secretary of Communications
Ndemo handed it out at the Panafric Hotel in Nairobi. We REALLY
appreciate this award, because it’s an especially good feeling to be
recognized in your own country.

This is really an award for the Kenyan developers in Nairobi. A
recognition for all the hard work and volunteer time that guys like
Jason Mule, Laban Mwangi, Brian Muita, Wilfred Mworia, Amanya Kimathi,
Jessica Colaco, Josiah Mugambi and Steve Mutinda (and others) have put
into the platform.

I’m about to start an Ushahidi meetup in Nairobi. It’s going to be
about 30 people, including developers and users. A big thanks!
