We are very interested in this area, as we also develop open source 
software (e.g. Loband and pmGraph) and provide training and capacity 
building for African NRENs and ISPs. We would like to know more about your 
technology to see how it fits together with the work that we do.

Please could you tell us some more about what your technology is? I 
checked out this link that you provided:

> Forum Address: http://www.s8.createphpbb.com/osn/

But I did not find the information that I was looking for there, or on the 
TSLab web page (http://www.tslab.ssvl.kth.se/).

I did find some references to research papers published in 2008 which 
appear to relate to broadband and rural infrastructure in Africa, however 
none of them are offered for download. As you probably know, journals are 
very expensive and most development organisations have no access to them 
and therefore cannot benefit from your knowledge and research.

Please could you point me to some more information on your work on open 
source tools and with African NRENs? Thanks in advance.

Thanks, Chris.

Colleagues,

 

IDRC  <http://www.idrc.ca> www.idrc.ca is currently in the process of
fashioning out its 2010-2015 corporate strategy and program framework.  We
need to identify ideas for IDRC to consider in understanding and addressing
the research funding needs of the West and Central Africa region.  If you
wish to make any input, to guide IDRC program development, and not
necessarily to make recommendations on particular programs, please let me
know before the close of work on 06 Feb 09 so that we can incorporate your
views.

 

As a member of the Council of Regional Advisors for West and Central Africa
<http://www.idrc.ca/en/ev-62208-201-1-DO_TOPIC.html>
http://www.idrc.ca/en/ev-62208-201-1-DO_TOPIC.html, I would be grateful if
your input would focus on the following themes:

 

1.       Environmental issues;

2.       Socio-political economy;

3.       Science and ICT;

4.       Which development challenges are NOT addressed above and what
KNOWLEDGE can help address them?

 

For each theme, we are interested in your perception of REGIONAL TRENDS,
RESEARCH PRIORITIES AND WHAT TYPES OF SUPPORT ARE NEEDED.  I ask that your
input be candid, to the point and challenge conventional thinking.

 

You may wish to review the following background material:

 

1.       IDRC Corporate Strategy and Program Framework 2005-2010,

Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up it knows that it has to run
faster than the fastest Lion or it will be killed.  Every morning a Lion
wakes up it knows that it has to run faster than the slowest gazelle or it
will starve to death.

It doesn't matter whether you are a Lion or a gazelle; when the sun comes up
you had better be running!
