Greetings, and welcome to the Kabissa blog!
The Kabissa team is now blogging at http://www.kabissa.org/blog - and I for one am very excited about it. I have enjoyed having my personal blog here at saidia.org, but having a team blog at Kabissa will encourage all of us to share more regularly about our day-to-day experiences and the learning we are doing about ICT in African civil society. The blog will also give us opportunities to take some of our fiery Kabissa debates to the blogosphere so others can join in the fun!
And just in time, too. Kim and Liz are participating in the huge NTEN Nonprofit Technology Conference, which kicks off today in Washington DC. I don’t plan to quote myself often between these blogs, but I will now to avoid repeating myself:
Participating in NTC over the years has been greatly influential to my thinking about emerging technologies and how we as Kabissa can contribute to the important work of African civil society organizations as they grapple with new opportunities the new technologies are offering.
That Kim and Liz are at the event and I am at home on Bainbridge Island is an exciting change for us. I participated in the last three conferences, in Philadelphia, Chicago and Seattle. This year, my colleagues will be mixing with friends I have been getting to know over the years, and also meeting new people. As for me, I will be vicariously enjoying the events from afar, by monitoring their contributions to the Kabissa blog as well as the online activities of some of helpful “Web 2.0 hype enabled” colleagues (such as Ryan Ozimek at Picnet and NTEN) that will be providing blow by blow reports of the action.
