[Wikimedia Kenya] Wikimedia Kenya Blog - WikimediaKE

16 Jun 2012

Hello nice people!

In April 2012 immediately after we Boeing-ed (or is it jet back) from
Berlin. We had awesome tweets and re-tweets
with some WMKE members about the need to have a Wikimedia Kenya blog.

See images at [1] and [2] below.

First, I endorse this idea and I hope that way we will have all our updates
and progress in what we are doing
in an elaborate manner and style. Emails are not that refined especially to
new members and to the
international community who are part of this list and the whole Wikimedia
fraternity.

Secondly, we will request to join chapters
planet<http://www.chaptersplanet.org/>which aims to facilitate
information sharing about the work of
the Wikimedia chapters
<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_chapters>and the Wikimedia
Foundation <http://wikimediafoundation.org> by aggregating their blog feeds
in one place and providing
translation services.

This way other chapters will know what we are doing and we will also get
free translation services to other languages
like Chinese now that they are building Thika road and they need to know
about Wikimedia Kenya:).
(Decided to use Chinese as an example)

For my part, it will be a part of my signature in all emails and where
necessary point to it if an email am writing
has a blog post up for clarity and further reading which I will definitely
help. See [3].

Looking forward to your feedback about this.
