IMAGINE CUP COMPETITION- MICROSOFT CORPORATION

Though belated, we are still obliged to post about Imagine Cup Competition that went down three weeks ago. It was a success, at least according to most of JLUG members. Presentations were of good quality and drawn from all over East Africa with a little bias towards Uganda’s’ Makerere University. JKUAT as usual had quite a commanding representation and we were able to present 5 projects and good enough, one was presented an award.

The winner was from Strathmore University and was immediately presented with a ticket to Poland for the world finals. It was really interesting, especially because two teams will be flown to Poland.

To those who missed it, no need to worry, you can always catch up with the next one, at least that is a year's notice so no excuse. For those who would want to line up projects for next year, the registration dates will be posted to you accordingly.

Alongside the free lunch, the general ambiance at the Hotel was gorgeous, the ladies were HEAVEN and in good plenty, probably more than the number of people Jesus fed with "" loaves and "" fish!!!

Now you see exactly why you will not miss the next..

Nothing else. Go Code.
