[S.Murigi Muraya]

Dear All,

There is a meeting at *The Jacaranda Hotel on Saturday, Nov 7, 2009 @ 
**10am-1pm. *

*Attendance: Free!*

PS Ndemo will be represented by the Head of IT at the Ministry of 
Information and Communications. We also expect a notable academic or two 
to add value to the discussions / debates.

We welcome other E-Gov Practitioners / Executives to come and 
participate in a discussion to educate us on how we get involved in 
helping Government build Information and Transactional systems to 
benefit all Kenyans.

We will hear from a Kenyan who is part of a Private Company LOCALLY 
building a Web System (Service) that various (not just government) 
organizations subscribe to in some part(s) of the EU. He will be 
interviewed by another Kenyan guru helping build some HR (System.Web) at 
the UN in Nairobi. Floor will be open to any queries about how they and 
their teams go about building these kinds of web systems and services.

Conrad Akunga, our own Kenyan Microsoft C# (an OPEN Programming 
Technology) Most Valuable Professional - Awarded to him by a World Wide 
and World Class Community of Software Developers, Will Facilitate the 
E-Gov Q & A Session!

Some of our more reliable Software (Web) Developers get to find out what 
our government needs from them and Government gets to find out our 
software (web) developers need to deliver working Information and 
Transactional systems for Kenyans.

Spread the word to anyone you think may be interested. There will be 
refreshments sometime between 10am and 1pm. KARIBUNI!
