Japa,

I am totally impressed especially with your Sri Lankan Culture links to internet based local content, it paints a wonderful appealing picture of and drawing power for Sri Lanka. I believe that Vision is the key to progress for countries and industries alike - and ICTA have a very good one with for the role of ICT: "To harness ICT as a lever for economic and social advancement by taking the dividends of ICT to every village, to every citizen, to every business & to re-engineer the way government thinks & works". As the future will increasingly be Community & Computer (online) driven in the Knowledge Economy, your people will create opportunity in line with their level of commitment and ability to develop an ongoing eSkills capability. Finally, could I suggest a role in Education for ICDL Certificate programmes (International Computer Driving Licence) http://www.icdl.org, who are involved with a Test Centre in Sri Lanka already I believe and whose courses have international recognition and carry jobs opportunities at endorsing companies, especially given that there is an emerging global shortage of over 30 million ICT skilled workers according to IBM. I look forward to following how this discussion develops.
