Dear Al,

Your email remind me to update you on the following.

Nimepokea 8,340,000, nilitakiwa kuweka kwenye account yako 834,000, Nilikupa cash 400,000.

Nimetransfer Euro 200 kwa account yako which is equal to 423 483.483

Lets call that squaring the balance. 

Next time wont happen like this, thats a promise, I had difficult time, hard to explain for you to understand, just believe me friend. 

Best regards
Bwamkuu

Subject: Re: [adlsngreenstone] From ADLSN: please share your news .. by replying to this resend

Dear colleagues,

There a lot to share from my side though may not directly involve collection building in Tanzania. 

1. I would like to inform you that I have moved to Royal Tropical Institute-KIT ( www.kit.nl <http://www.kit.nl/>  ) in Amsterdam, Holland as project manager for Capacity building in digital repositories development among academic institutions in Africa. The nature of work is the same, to promote Digital repositories; we develop a toolkit with detailed guidelines on how to set up digital repositories and we will also conduct training workshop in Ghana, Mozambique and likely within East Africa. I therefore request you to visit www.ir-africa.info <http://www.ir-africa.info/>  please register ( left side frame - create new account ) once registered you will appear on Who is Who and you will be able to view more information and be able to contribute to toolkit and training modules development. You will also be potential participants or facilitators in training workshops. 

2. Related to Tanzania collection capacity building : We managed to hold two more training workshops for over 40 participants towards the end of 2010. Unfortunately, we were not able to track the development of actual collections from these participants except one,  State University of Zanzibar. The workshop sponsored by UNESCO ( Greenstone ) and INASP ( DSPACE ) 

For now. 

Best regards
Africa

Apologies for the resend -  we changed the settings of this email list to have your reply going to this list and not to me personally !! FROM HERE ON A REPLY GOES TO ALL YOUR COLLEAGUES ON THE LIST - just what we want sharing our news, suggestions and questions.  Thanks, Repke de Vries 

Dear all 

early February all of you received a Welcome message when the former  Southern African Greenstone support list "sagreenstone" changed it's name and broadened it's scope and the number of African countries and regions it is involved in [2].

In that message the African Digital Library Support Network and the National Centres in Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, (Namibia), Nigeria, Senegal, Tanzania and Zimbabwe (re)introduced  themselves [1].

It would be very much appreciated if this time you could share some of *your* news with this list - like: 

you received your Greenstone training in the last year and went back to your place of work: what happened then? 

If it turned out difficult to put your training into practice: share !  

If you made a start but hit stumbling blocks later on: share !

If you managed to digitise documents and put them into Greenstone (or DSpace or Drupal or some other solution): share (adding screenshots of your work if you wish) !

Sharing your news will be very much appreciated by your colleagues.  And some of us with operational services [3] who also are on this list or the colleagues at the ADLSN National Centres (working regionally !) can help with technical and other answers.

Flood the list with your stories !

Yours, Repke de Vries, ADLSN 

[1] have a look here: http://www.eifl.net/african-digital-libraries-support-network 

[2] quoting from the second of February Welcome message:

"..

The Support Network is an open community of  practitioners and policy
makers and has a number of Centres throughout Africa that can be
called upon both nationally and regionally.

(..)

On the discussion list African practical experience is shared and
(technical) support given in creating and giving access to  local
digital content. The focus is on open source software with emphasis on
Greenstone but also paying attention to other open-source access
solutions like DSpace, Drupal and bridges between them.

.."

[3] The eIFL FOSS organisation with whom ADLSN works closely together created some nice lists of operational services in Africa and elsewhere:
