TAN: IPP Meeting

We spent the morning at Hanif’s house and headed into Kiriakoo for lunch. The main item on the agenda for today was a meeting with IPP Media to see if we could provide them with some classes. We arrived at 2 pm. to find that Lema not at the office. We met up with Ernesto, who turned out to be a good friend of Maina’s girfriend’s roommate. He does motion graphics for ITV, one of the stations under the IPP umbrella. Lema finally showed up with apologies for being detained elsewhere.
The meeting finally got underway with Lema, Ernesto, Maria, from Channel 5, three of the video guys from Channel 5, two of which I recognized from the Pixel Corps meeting the previous night, as well as Maina, Chantal and I. The IPP folks outlined their needs and concerns and we talked back and forth about what we could provide and how to proceed. We wraped up an hour of so later feeling good about what we had agreed upon.
The rest of the afternoon is spent working on the course outline for a two week program. We soon began to realize what a large project the training would become. The staff needs so much training in so many areas that two weeks seems like barely enough time to scratch the surface. Had a short break for dinner before a second session of course outlining.
The saga of Chantal’s email account continued. Between her requests to Pac Bell, Yahoo and her roommates, the password was reset one to many times and she was locked out once again.
