<http://uwanja.wordpress.com>
Forwarding this information about ZIM reader Kiwix, which is the reader
commonly used for the Offline Wikipedia projects.
Many of you on these lists I know have connections to both OLPC and/or

Subject: [Kiwix-testing] [KIWIX] New version of Kiwix for Sugar
To: "kiwix-testing(a)lists.sourceforge.net" <
kiwix-testing(a)lists.sourceforge.net>, olpc-france(a)lists.laptop.org
Dear testers,
we finally have fixed the big bug impacting loading of ZIM files with
0.8x versions of the OLPC OS. So, Kiwix should work now and be able to
load any ZIM file. No bug anymore concerning Kiwix on Sugar is still
open on our side.
Please test the last version and give us a feedback:
http://activities.sugarlabs.org/fr/sugar/addon/4483
Build your own small custom ZIM file there:
* https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sp%C3%A9cial:Livre
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Book
If everything still runs fine, we plan to introduce pre-packaged .xo
files (Kiwix+content) during the summer.
Regards
Emmanuel

Dear All,
I trust we are all doing great and are all aware of the scheduled
Mombasa Outreach this Friday. You can take a look at the Meta page
here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Kenya_Outreach_2012 to
know what we have in store .
I have created a small budget for the same here too:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Kenya_Outreach_2012 and
would love your input into it.
So far no one has come out ON-LIST to volunteer to help with the
Outreach (except for 2 off-list requests of Morine and Ednah) So if
you still think you could volunteer for the same, Kindly get in touch.
==KU Outreach Updates==
So I have been in touch with the KU Administration over the small
outreach talk we owe them from last year and I managed to squeeze an
appointment tomorrow 29th 2012 for the same. Looks like all is set and
If you are interested in joining me for the meetup, please get in
touch too.
We would be having pretty the same talk to KU Students sometimes maybe
next week or so similar to what we are going to deliver to Mombasa.
In that regard, I would like to have somone Step in for m for th KU
and possibly subsequent Outreaches as I am soon starting my Full time
job and am not sure I will be better placed to coordinate all this
Years Outreaches as planned.
Steve is taking charge for the Egerton Outreach slated for 10th of March?
Regards,

Limoke Oscar,
Dear all,The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees has two slots that are Chapter-Selected Trustees(http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Board_of_Trustees/Restructure_…. The 2012 Chapter Selected Board Seats process has already started. Details here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chapter-selected_Board_seats
The list of candidates vying is publicly available: http:// meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chapter-selected_Board_seats/2012/Candidates. You have until 14th March to ask questions to the candidates, so please put your questions on this page:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chapter-selected_Board_seats/2012/Candidates… are already some questions and some answers there)
Candidates are not forced to answer, and even if they do, they're not forced to answer in public, so might happens that
some answers won't go to meta. Also do keep in mind this isn't a community vote. And therefore some discussions will not be publicly available. And since we have some Wikimedia Foundation Board Members & Staff on this mailing list, we wouldn't be able to hold this discussion on this mailing list. So in case you want to discuss a candidate, please do so off-list. And also, in case you have a candidate that you'd like to choose on behalf of Wikimedia Kenya, please also notify me off-list.Thanks,Abbas Mahmood
