[Ncuc-af] NCUC in AIS 2018 (Online radio station)

Sun Mar 4 12:04:32 CET 2018

Dear Thato,

    The is a great idea coming from  the NCUC African group. This would
give a lasting impression. I salute your pen holding for clearly
communicating the idea to us. So I would want us to consider re-use of
technologies instead of developing one from the scratch for this project
except if the customization won't give the desired output. I would be happy
to be identified with the project.

Regards.

Peter
