**South Sudan where cattle population is higher than population of people**, recently hosted a pope and despite being officially newest country on the world map, still struggles for international recognition. Juba, the capitol, is a home to one of the worst traffic organizations in Africa. Central round about can proudly compete with Dhaka rush hours.

Like much of South Sudan, the land they occupy is low-lying area prone to flooding, providing very fertile basis for cattle grazing. The Mundari people have close connection to their cattle, from giving them names and having them take part in their rituals and practices. The most treasured cattle among the Mundari are the Ankole-Watusi, the “Cattle of Kings”, with the most impressive having **horns that can reach over 2 meters long**. The cattle themselves have heritage dating back thousands of years, from the combination of the Egyptian Longhorn of Africa and the Zebu Longhorn of India. Relying on the herding of cattle, sheep and goats to obtain milk, blood, meat and leather, the tribe also have a reputation for being fierce warriors, **where status and wealth are measured in cattle** and loaded weapons. Low-level warfare to rustle and raid cattle is not uncommon.

Zainlee Technologies is opening a new learning and training initiative focused on Artificial Intelligence. As part of this step, we are hosting a free introductory AI session to explain core concepts, real-world applications, and practical ways AI can support people in their work, studies, and businesses. This initiative is designed for working professionals, business owners, students, and young learners who want to understand how AI can be used in everyday workflows, decision-making, creativity, and problem-solving. It is also aimed at those who are curious about AI and want a clear, hands-on understanding rather than just theory. The session will be practical and interactive, giving participants the opportunity to work directly with AI tools. All required resources will be provided, allowing attendees to explore, experiment, and gain real experience. Zainlee’s goal with this initiative is to make AI accessible, understandable, and useful for people at all stages — from beginners to those looking to deepen their practical knowledge — and to introduce AI awareness at an early age to help prepare for the future. This is a learning-focused experience, created to share knowledge, encourage curiosity, and build confidence in using AI.

In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification. You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written. This talk will cover: --What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t) --How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows --Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development --Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects. **YouTube Link** TBA
