    And an unknown college dropout named Bill Gates, together with his
partner Paul Allen, wrote a version of the programming language BASIC
for the Altair, forming a company called Micro-Soft in the process. He
would later drop the hyphen and the capital S, and make billions of
dollars.

[Wikiyetu-users] Fwd: DEVCON1

[Laban M. <lm...@gm...>]

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Robert Njuguna <rnj...@pe...>
Date: Sep 12, 2006 8:44 PM
Subject: Opensource Project
To: tir...@gm..., joseph fuchaka <jfu...@ya...>, Laban
Mwangi <lm...@pe...>, pn...@ya...

Hi,

World Software Freedom is a day when we celebrate all the liberties of
"Free Speech" availed to us through Open Source software. It is on this
day that we have chosen to launch a project that will contribute to a
community that has greatly influenced both our formation as developers
and our experiences as end users.

Wikiyetu is an opensource project which aims to develop an offline
encyclopedia for use by people who do not have internet access. The
resulting encyclopedia would then be distributed as  a DVD / CD hence
enabling access by individuals / institutions to a wealth of knowledge.

The aim of DevCon1 will be to jumpstart the Wikipedia project and will
therefore be a development conference and not just a discussion forum.
The following are the areas we look to address on Saturday:

1. Database design
2. User Interface Design
     a. Design of look and feel
     b. Navigation Design
3. Design of update mechanisms
4. Licensing

Plus a look at the following topics would bring you up to speed o some
of the tools that we would use:
1. XUL
2. sql Lite
3. Wikipedia
4. javascript

Please carry a laptop as this will be a developer conference.

Wikiyetu DevCon one will be held at the International House Business
Center Conference room on Saturday 16th September all day.

To get some more  information about the Wikiyetu initiative visit:
http://wikiyetu.sourceforge.net/

Sorry i almost forgot......you are cordially invited to participate in
this event.

Re: [Wikiyetu-users] DEVCON 1 Announce

[Laban M. <lm...@gm...>]

Hi all,
Here is a rough sketch of a schedule for the devcon (16th sept).
Please note that we have to compress all this into a single 8-12hr
day. If we are fewer than 15, we may be able to secure some meeting
space (Penguinlabs) Otherwise we'll have to use the IFC venue.
Starts at ~8AM
Introductions
Project Introduction ::Joseph?
Rough sketch of goals and ways to get there
Goals Priorisation
Hacking
Summary and Overview of achievements
Other Items.... (Key signing, chatting etc)

>This is OK but it seems you have limited the development to a
particular technology/platform. I dont see anything on Java, XML,
AJAX, SOAP etc. Where's our place!! Is this also limited to Unix only,
where are win32 pple?
Nope: we are not limiting ourselves to a single technology. We are
actually using XUL (User interface design done in XML), Javascript
(AJAX uses it), Maybe SOAP for updates... So we do need a large
skillset. Please note that the project aims to be crossplatform. It
should run across windows, *nix and the MacOS platform out of the box
(XUL does this for us). Thus, we can't say that we are limiting
ourselves to a single technology. We are using technology that rises
abstracts the platform.

@Job Ballard
Some design work may come your way.

Can we all move the discussion to the mailing lists...

Microsoft; On the day *I* go to work for Microsoft, faint oinking sounds will be
heard from far overhead, the moon will not merely turn blue but
develop polkadots, and hell will freeze over so solid the brimstone
will go superconductive.

[Wikiyetu-users] DEVCON1 Announce

[Laban M. <lm...@gm...>]

Hi All,
 It's time to break out those rusty coding skills and start off
Wikiyetu with a (fl)hash bang!!.  Hence I propose that we hold DEVCON1
on the 16th of sept. 2006 which also happens to the software freedom
day (http://softwarefreedomday.org/). We don't have a venue yet
(Muchemi?) and a plan (Please float your DevCON ideas and schedule
proposals). If you a new to this, have a look at
#Mozilla XUL
#SQLite
#Javascript

We also need designers for the GUI, skin themes etc. In the meantime,
*Please ask friends and other coders to join the devel or users
mailing lists. We will need bugs to be discovered and fixed, extensive
testing, feedback, feature requests....
* Generate your own gpg keys for the key signing party.
* Get a basic feel of svn and or CVS
* Shoot your ideas and questions to the mailing lists

Thanks and hope to see you all at the conference
LMwangi
