Barcamp 2.0 in full swing

BarCamp Nairobi 2.0 is in full swing at Strathmore University in the heart of Nairobi. In the first two hours we are discussing everything and anything to do with everything and anything with a technological bent. The final two hours we will focus in on this year’s theme, Innovation.

The short talks cover a wide range of issues (as you would expect at a BarCamp!) so far we have:

• Alex Gakum – Protecting Innovation
• Wesley Kirinya – Schools working with companies
• Edgar Okioga – .net innovation
• Nathan Eagle – Mobile Epemology Apps
• Riyaz Bachani – Demonstrating the One Laptop Per Child laptop
• Valentine Wambui - Call Centre set-up (using Asterix technology)

this list will grow as more people turn up. If you are in Nairobi and reading this, get to Strathmore University NOW (Ole Sangale Road, off Langata Road, in Madaraka Estate. If using public transport, take matatu number 14, which leaves town from the corner of Ronald Ngala and Mfangano Streets and goes directly to the entrance of Strathmore University (the last stop).

We are recording as much of the sessions as we can and will upload them as podcasts.

There around 100 people here (and growing) the discussions are interesting and passionate. Full report and photos later.

Manze free wi-fi, for that alone if you are in Nairobi you should get here faster.
