Friday at
KINU co creation hub at Kijitonyama it was a great day to the users of the hub
when Samsung decided to donate applications testing center to the hub as part
of their social responsibility. The testing center will be used by the hub
users to test their applications and facilitate their projects involving mobile
development.
Since
Samsung devices are highly based on the Android operating system. This will be
a great chance for Android developers to utilize effectively the opportunity
provided by the hub and the mobile phone giants. Speaking at the event
something Tanzania top official said that, he was delighted to be at the hub
and he was amazed the way things are going inside the hub since for him it was
the first time to be inside the Tanzania co creation hub. He said that Samsung
will be happy to facilitate innovative projects from Tanzania and to work with
local developers and institutions aiming at improving the ICT sector of
Tanzania.
The
co-founders of the KINU co creation hub, Emmanuel Ferruzi, Taha jiwaji, Jp and
Catherinerose Barretto were
among the main facilitators of the event and to ensure everything was going
smoothly. It was also the time to introduce the new TanzICT
innovation space managers Jumanne Rajabu and Brian Mnyapi to the
Dar es Salaam ICT stakeholders who have gathered for the event at the hub. Most
of the first time users of the hub were impressed about the activities that are
conducted at the hub and for the active old users it was a great step and
achievement to the KINU co creation hub.
The
challenge that remains is on how hundreds of Androids developers in Dar es
Salaam would be able to use the testing center efficiently and give the
required output expected by the co-founders of the KINU co creation hub and
other tech stake holders in Dar es Salaam. Big up Samsung for the support you
have shown to the Tanzania tech community we expect more from the Mobile giants
in the near future.
