Hi all,
I joined the Kenyan Wikimedia list
early this year; I started editing pages following my attendance
of Wikimania last year.
I have been following this discussion thread; whereas I was not part of Wikimedia in
Kenya, I get the gist of what transpired, and what needs to be done moving forward.
You can include me as one of the six minimum members required to organise a meeting to
jumpstart the movement in Kenya.
Cheers.
Lereko Moronge Obonyo,
PO Box 58028 - 00200,
Nairobi.

I agree, Its a Challenge rather than an embarrassment to us. :-) What matters is now for
us to re-energize ourselves and re-align our objectives to move forward.
Oliver, I am still calling on folks interested to join the User Group model so that we can
re-establish a membership based on interests and commitment. Am assuming we will have to
get new commitment from folks. So far we have : Dennis, Oliver, Steve and I. when we get
to 6, we can have our 1st meeting. Yes?
Thanks for all the wishes Asaf, SJ and Tom

Any meetings of our group on the horizon? Either RL or virtual/online?
With continued hope and best wishes for Wikimedia in East Africa,

Yes. You might even try working with them to organize
a shared
regional event, if their bid for Wikimania itself
doesn't work out.
They clearly have a lot of energy for bringing people
and speakers
together around Wikimedia topics.

Yes. And once you have some projects underway, if
they start to grow,
you may always reapply to become a Chapter.
