FOSS Development in Africa: The case of AVOIRJames Kariuki
A copy of the presentation I made at the SITA GovTech in Durban. It Captures:
The need for polling on resources – Polling resources is very important for the development of any FOSS software, as indeed any community-based project.
Collaboration – an understanding of purpose among all the stakeholders is very important. From policy makers, funders, community leaders, software developers, to the end users.
importance of ownership
Need for qualified human capacity in the software development arena – in working together, we should continually look at ways and means of improving our human capacity and capital.
Why Developing Technology Skills is Essential for NonprofitsTechSoup
As the pace of change accelerates and technology continues to evolve, organizations across all industries are struggling to keep up — and the nonprofit sector is no exception. Technology skills are critical to building the solutions that solve the greatest challenges for nonprofits. But developing technology skills starts by creating a culture of lifelong learners. For enterprise organizations and nimble nonprofits alike, learning is an indispensable element of success.
Join us for this 60-minute webinar with Lindsey Kneuven, head of social impact of Pluralsight, who will cover how you can accelerate the ability to achieve your nonprofit’s mission and give your teams the opportunity to have more meaningful impact.
Some examples of bridges between scarcity and abundance.
The bridge needed is in people's minds, to see that bridges are possible, and that like minded folk might join with them to try and make a difference.
Networked membership organisations are often still operating the way they did last century, especially in the UK, where a closed attitude to innovation hampers both growth and change.
Here we explore a UK perspective to some of the old network organisations, and how things have moved on, often leaving old school organisations struggling to stay relevant.
We should also mention the attack now needed on the original blight of "lazy" network organisations: the fear that throwing out the "bad practitioners" will have a negative affect on public relations and organisational reputation, whereas in the 21st century the opposite is often true.
"The business plan doesn't survive first contact with the customer"

Come along, bring an open mind, and be prepared to help your fellow startups.

UK Employment needs to change radically to achieve full employment.
One of its best resources, already skilled over 50s, do not have an easy path back into recruitment, and some never make it.
With the appointment of a UK "Over 50s Tsar", @rosaltmann, we perhaps have a chance to make a difference to the social infrastructure at this pivotal point in social media capabilities.
As event and content management mature and seep into business consciousness, potentially a good move for business growth, companies like LoYakk are pushing the boundaries of what they call "community engagement".
Because for every business, audience engagement is key, and the best way to understand this is to know what audiences are talking about, what they like, and what they don't.
And of course, engaging speakers who can tell a new story is a must.

Parochial State and Corporate ownership has to be challenged,

Move more away from competition and more towards

The ability to connect with and positively impact key
projects globally
Rapid migration to a system of social and digital proof as
to employee and partner capabilities and impacts
6. African Projects Direct
Producerism

Removing dependence on external suppliers and providing
eco sustainable agriculture will liberate many Africans
The current agency network will have to be redeployed where more
self sufficiency and more direct support is in place
Global aid agencies only cater for regional crisis, not local
"crisis"; subsistence resilience ecosystems are needed
Provision of Solar powered WiFi masts will ensure more
Africans can get educated at lower costs, especially girls
7. Self Managed Health

Wearable Tech
Improving access to Best Practice will enable more self
diagnosis and pre diagnosis
The current super agency ownership needs redesign, with more direct
access through tech to legal obligations
The obssession with mega systems and super consultancies
has to stop, allowing smaller targeted systems to deliver
With the advent of affordable heart and activity monitors,
affordable home caring becomes much a better option
