Hi David. It is not a bad thing to nominate yourself. Considering the period
we have and from my past experience (Wikimania 2010), it would be easier on
someone who already has a travel passport. According to me, we should
consider the following when sending someone:
1. Someone who has thorough acquaintance with the activities of Wikimedia
Kenya, ranging from the formation to the current progress and projects...to
the future plans of the chapter
2. Considering that the period between now and 27th March is very short,
I would prefer someone who already has a travel passport or one who is sure
to acquire it by then
3. Though not very necessary, we should consider gender sensitivity (1
female and 1 male)
4. A question that needs clarity to me since I haven't visited the
registration page: who is gonna support the travel ticket and sponsor the
stay there?
5. Consider the availability of the chosen persons. Let's not choose
someone who will later start giving apologies that they are committed
somewhere and can't make it to the conference
I will not nominate anyone for now until I hear the sentiments of the other
team members.
- Whoever we choose, please represent us well. Cheers

Guys,
Am sure you saw Bence Damokos' mail on the Wikimedia Conference 2011, we
are meant to nominate 2 people to represent us... I had assumed it was a
selection so I had gone ahead and filled the forms.
I post this to invite nominations for the same... am not sure if am allowed
to but I would nominate myself alongside someone else... but I think lets
agree on a criteria for the same, I believe it needs to be of benefit to all
of us. So lets hear you.
