News from Tanzania: Grant Progress

When I was in Tanzania, I spent some time working with the professors at Sokoine University to write a grant to renovate their network and computer lab.  It was successful, and we got $4 million from USAID.  The other day, the department head contacted me to let me know they had finally started on the project. That only took 3 years.  Tanzanian time.  But I'm still happy Dr. Busagala reached out to me to let me know!  Dr. Busagala is AWESOME.  He has a PhD from Japan in robotic something or other, is good with Fedora, an OS I use grudgingly, has a plan and gets things done.  I really enjoyed going over to Sokoine to work with him and and his colleagues.
