I thot Kubatana would win the Top ICT Civil Society/NGO award. I also think this awards programme should be expanded to include bloggers.
some of those people we worked forthem and have done totaly nothing (literaly except owe people) since we left them for the last two years….
these awards somehow i feel they do not really recognize the real achievers in the ict industry and it becomes very boring when the same people are the ones winning the awards so officially i dont recognize the winners yet
