Re: [Wikimedia Kenya] Wiki-Loves Monumnets

Hi Team, That would be awesome. So the Plan Lodewijk and I talked is like this( Not exactly , but my thoughts and suggestions added) 1. We hire a travel van with a tour guide 2. we get interested tourists and journalists to sign up to be part of the Guided Museums and Monuments tour of Nairobi 3. We make them take photos with the tour guide explaining all the symbolism and significance of the Monuments. We could make a video of the same tour (am working with some other external folks to finance this) 4. they agree either to submit or surrender some of their best or all photos of the monuments under CC-BY-SA licence or to us WMKE which wil get them into the Wiki Loves Monuments Competition to stand a chance to win some cool prizes that we need to work on, We could try get some external folks onboard too (Samsung, Safaricom, etc) 5. kabooooom, WML done with all the Nairobi Monuments with their articles and a cool video too of all the monuments :-) So Once again, am calling on anyone who is interested in this simple plan to volunteer in some way to sign up here. PS: WMZA have a very ambitious budget and plan for the WML, abt $60k USD :-) Just to get jealous On Fri, Jul 13, 2012 at 8:25 PM, Stephen Wanjau &lt;stevewanjau(a)wikimedia.or.ke > Hello! > > Yes we can. > > Today I had the privilege to attend an expo <http://pluggedexpo.com/> at > the Sarit Centre in Nairobi Kenya that drew exhibitors from the Kenyan IT > industry, Film industry,Universities etc. The most interesting and > Wikimedian thing about the event is that I attended and I talked to several > filming and media houses about the Wiki Loves Monuments plus possibilities > of having their journalists involved or even contributing images that they > own. > > > Particularly, I spoke to filmbiz Africa, NTV and the Kenya Film > Commission.
