Greetings from UgaBYTES initiative Over the previous month several things have been taking place at the UgaBYTES head offices in Kampala. First the E-conference Report compilation, the staff development program, the re-examination of the Technical department, the consolidation of the Network members and the preparation for Telecenter Managers Content development workshop in Kamuli. Thanks for your remainders and support in all those programs, which has been a sign of a brotherly solidarity.
The E-conference draft report highlights the issues of Telecenter sustainability in developing countries for which you were the originators. With its general but rather personal reporting format of the proceedings, I have confidence the report will go a long way to contribute to the shaping of the Telecenter body of Knowledge. Resilient Telecenter leaders will find this report embedded with both New and old insights to Telecenter sustainability, for which I dont want to attempt to summarize here, for fear of pre-emptying your final input to the process. To gain insights of the Draft report, kindly visit: http://www.ugabytes.org/index_E-conference.pdf Kindly provide your feedback on all the sections of the draft to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The deadline for submission of your feedback is 26/09/2005. This will allow the conference coordinator review the draft in time, into the final version to be released on 30th September 2005.
