[kictanet] Jacaranda Update

[S.Murigi Muraya]

Dear All,

The Jacaranda meet went well although it started slow (as would be 
expected on a Saturday morning). We ended at 2.30pm.

Prof Sevilla of Strathmore University was most punctual. It is no 
surprise that software developers he has taught take him as seriously as 
he takes them. Two of our three (presenting) software gurus acknowledged 
his contribution to their lives. He had to leave as early as he came 
though to attend a funeral.

Our priority is to motivate software developers and if E-Govt higher ups 
do not take them seriously, we would rather have the E-Govt technocrats 
who were with us today. Ms. Esther Wanjau (Assistant Director / ICT - 
MoIC) and Martin Kinyua (Kenya ICT Board) did well to open our minds as 
did Hary Hare, Dorcas Muthoni and others who have their E-Govt info 
together... We will be sure to have them as speakers or moderators in 
coming meetings.

Conrad had a great presentation as did Esther and Martin. Will forward 
their PPT's as soon as we get them.
