@Oscar, regarding Mombasa Tech, they are all about getting tech
initiatives/activities such as Wikimedia happening in their region and from
this idea, they've gone on to form a community.
From the way they work, you look for someone within the
community who's
particularly interested in Wikimedia and they in turn would take
a more
proactive position within the community and Mombasa in general as a
Wikimedian.
We have many people who contribute to Wikimedia as a synergy with a project
they are working on, for Msa Tech it's important for them to gain
recognition/acknowledgement of their efforts and by recognition. They've
been holding Mozilla and Google events independently and I think we can get
Wikimedia contributors from the group as well.

Hello Everyone,
As some of us remember, Last year, we organized some Outreach Ecents
across various regions in Kenya including Mombasa and Nakuru (
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Kenya/Outreach_2012 )
The Mombasa Outreach was held in collaboration with the Kenyan Mozilla
Community and the The Mombasa Tech Group in Mombasa.
The Mombasa Tech Group is requesting if we could have such Outreach Events
and allow them to engage and collaborate with us in various Wikimedia
Related events/activities this year. To quote
We were thinking to collaborate with you on working out on a
Wikipedia/Wikimedia event whereby you guys can
come down and train more and
more people on Wikimedia.
We can also discuss and plan for a competition related to Wikimedia
commons,GLAM contest or anything interesting that will promote as well as
benefit Wikimedia and the tech community as well.
I think this is a positive step in the r-grouping of our chapter and
reaching out to newer member of the community and contributors. As such,
can we start thinking and drawing up of a Schedule for the year and some of
the events and activities we can engage in?
