[kictanet] FW: Apps4Ottawa-Dr. Kate Getao

[Walubengo J]

Congrats are indeed in order if Kate is the new boss @ eGovt.  But is she on this list? If so, she should make her maiden speech before she goes officially  "underground" - like most government technocrats ;-)

Dr Ndemo/Dr Kate,
 
I think Kenya should think along these lines to build the local industry and spur innovation.
 
Kate, congrats on taking the mantle at eGOV!
 
Edith

The city of Ottawa is following suit to others delegating the data represetnation to the citizenry, etc:
 
The City of Ottawa is running its first public contest to develop apps from open data and is inviting residents from all over to participate both in creating new apps or voting on their favourites.
 
The goal of the contest is to encourage entrepreneurs, agencies, students, IT professionals and others to create innovative new apps that use open data to improve community experience, stimulate economic growth and engage residents
 in municipal government.
