My name is Tambe harry Agbor. I am Project coordinator of AMISPROJECT Cameroon. I shall not be present at N2 due to problems with visas. My Team member Valery Colong shall be travelling from Cameroon to represent me.
I count on the support of our Project Champion to help him through as this is going to be a tough ride for us and the farming communities we advocate for.
We would like to hear from anyone out there with ideas that help us improve upon our concept so that even if we dont win, we come back re-energized to continue the cause we started .
Have a great conference

Was honored (after much debate, persuasion, and final clarity about the general laid-backed-ness of the meeting) to be asked by Ed Schipul to lead the July – Houston, TX – NetSquared get together. Have not been to other NetSquared meetings, so can only speak about the attitude of the Houston group, which is more about social issues and passion than technology. I chose to talk about using technology (the internet really) to tangibly support our troops while they are deployed (I’m not talking yellow flags on your car here!) – A topic containing many social issues, all of which I can get pretty passionate about. I’m a Quaker (Nothing to do with the guy in the funny hat) and embrace the Peace Testimony. I also have a brother who is an MP and served a year in Iraq. I find myself in an interesting position with a unique point of view about the “War on Terror.”
