Hey Abbas,

Would like to join the WikiSat at iHub. But then, I really get what the WikiSats are up to? Please brief me on this.

Regards.

Cliff.

Seems like there's preference for people to hold WikiSat at the convenience of their campuses. That's OK -- people are free to do do it wherever they find it most convenient.

Most of the students are on recess now in my university, so for the next couple of months I'll be popping in and out of iHub to edit.  I think Grace might also accompany me. So for those who might not be able to go to campus for one reason or another, do ping me and we'll liaise our own WikiSaturday.


Regards,
Abbas.

Yah, awesome idea Oscar.

In my opinion, the best way to approach this would be through campus clubs, that way we won't have to worry about creating awareness and dealing with campus administration. This should be workable.

Hi guys,

Now that the first wikisaturday is <72 hours away could we come up with a
venue for the 1st universal one at least, so that from there we take it to
the campus level.

BTW I have downloaded 50% and counting the zim file for Swahili Wikipedia
that BT informed us about.
