I participated in the translation of Mozilla Firefox 3.0 internet web browser to Luganda, the most largely spoken local language in Uganda. This took place in August 2008 in Makerere University, Kampala.
This was courtesy of Makerere University-Uganda, Rhodes University-South Africa and translate.org.za.
We (Ken and other software engineers) believe that this will greatly be of help to the strategy to improve use of computers in Uganda.
In this participation, Ken also got the vision to translate into his local language 'leb lango', which is different from Luganda. Watch out and don't be surprised when that comes to pass!

* Ken participates in Makerere-Giessen Universities IT Management initiative
In June-August 2008, Two expert ladies from Giessen University, Germany were in Makerere University, Uganda to train Ugandan Information Technology experts on marketing business, proper and appropriate customer care and administration of projects and general IT management. After all the trainings held, there was a grand one-day training to summarize all the knowledge got in the individual trainings.
I had the opportunity of being among the few who had the opportunity to get these skills.
I was able to attain the various IT business management skills; winning customers, customer care, marketing skills, administration of IT projects.
The skills left me not only sound, but brave enough to take up any opportunities that may come, utilize it to maximum for the better of the field of Information Technology.

* Ken sets up APFREM.NET Internet cafe at Ndejje University, Kampala Campus
In July 2008, I set up (installed all network hardware and software) APFREM.NET Internet cafe. The internet cafe is located and serves the community of Ndejje University, Kampala Campus.
I was then asked to keep maintaining the network as the Network Administrator which involves security, uptime/Availability, performance, device (Hardware) maintenance and general consultancy - and till todate I am called whenever there arises any problem in the cafe.
This not only proved the reality of my ability but has really kept me up to date with network maintenance skills.
