Hi Steve. Thanks for arising this concern. The last time we talked about the Nyeri it was noted that Wangai Mwangi who was to lead the team could not be available, and at that time we had no one else who was familiar with the place. We then decided to substitute Nyeri with Nairobi region. The Nairobi area Pilot would also extend to schools along Thika road, KU included. To be honest, the issue has never been further discussed since, and I do not know the status of the Nairobi pilot. I even wanted to update the wikimedia Kenya page on that but I had no precise info. I recommend that once we conclude the Kakamega and Mombasa pilots we should collectively shift our focus more on the third pilot. On 3/5/11, stephen wanjau <wanjaustev(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Hi guys, From the previous meet-up at iHub on 26th Feb 2011 I did not quite get the position of the Nyeri pilot. So What is the position on the Nyeri pilot? cheers, stephen wanjau

hi I am pleased to inform you guys that I am conversant with the Nyeri region. As for my availability I am free till mid may. I Would also like to suggest if we could sacrifice the six days though I know it is not easy.It would be fit if the pilot projects would be done before our reps go to Germany.The foundation would be greatfull about this milestone. regards steve On 3/5/11, Abbas Mahmood <abbasjnr(a)hotmail.com> wrote:

It was not decided; rather it was suggested -- that's why it is still left hanging. Anyway, if you (Steve) are available for the pre-visit to Nyeri, well and good. My concern is that while some of us took a week off work or a week off school inorder to go to Kakamega/Mombasa, I am not sure whether people will manage to get another week off for the Nyeri pilot. So I don't think we'll manage to get 6 people for Nyeri at the moment. Most of the Strathmore folks would be free during May. As regards substituting to Nairobi, I have no problem with that. If we get unanimous agreement (and the 6 people as well), I would contact WMF and notify them (and ask their permission?) that the grant would be redirected to the Nairobi pilot, rather than the original plan for Nyeri. Regards, //a.

Thanks Steve. As said already, after the Mombasa pilot all eyes are focused on the third one On 3/9/11, stephen wanjau <wanjaustev(a)gmail.com> wrote:
