Zimbabwe: Zim Ready to Implement Information and Communication Technology (ICT) policy

ZIMBABWE is ready to implement its Information and Communication Technology (ICT) policy to improve the Internet and wireless system, the Minister of Science and Technology Development, Dr Olivia Muchena"

I'm sure it will be a great policy with lots of Opensource content such as Open Document requirements and measures to ensure that Opensource was considered first in any project before spending Billions on stuff that could have been picked up freely on the net.

This is a commendable effort.

Java Zimbabwe

One wonders being so far awayyjust what the state of Software development in Zimbabwe is currently.

One would surmise that there are vast oppourtunities for local developers being that there is very little foreign currency. I hope that the resulting effect is that companies are turing to their very own local talent for software. I would love to hear from the local software development community and hear about the types of things that they are doing

I initially made this post to find out particularly about java but I just thought about what the state is overall.

Zimbabwe high Inflation causing Computer Problems - not enough space for zeroes

This is an interesting problem. And it seems software suppliers are unwilling to make adjustments.

Y2K anyone?
