Also, perhaps non-Nairobi residents can start similar meetups in their own
area.
If you're thinking "but there are no Wikipedians in my town", consider
*making your own peers* -- that is, announce a lecture about Wikipedia in
some local venue (it can be very small), and try to motivate people to try
editing Wikipedia (or Wiktionary, etc.). If one gives a few of those
lectures, I'm sure one can find a few interested people and create a local
meetup. Where it goes from there is up to the team.
Just a thought. :)
Cheers,
Asaf

Hey Sam, my suggestion would be to have online updates
of the same where
guys outside Nairobi or those who can't attend physically may get a chance
to participate.
Cheers,
Alex.
