The integration (between mozkenya and wmke) worked
well; a bit beyond my
expectations actually!
So we planned this together being in constant chats with Steve over
logistics and the event organizers over schedule and eventually drafted
separate budgets. Steve and Vicky - Steve's version in Mozilla Kenya :) -
came in handy with their knwoledge on Nakuru.
I think something that was also spot on was the distinction between
Wikimedia and Mozilla yet at the same time, the collaborative nature of the
two. This really landed home with the students. We maintained different
speakers and booth coordinators where Abbas and I spoke on behalf of wmke
and mozkenya respectively - btw, Abbas was spot on with his presentation,
exactly what was expected - while Steve and Vicky had the crowds at the
booths eating of their hands :) and believe me, there were crowds!
Another thing noted was that no confusion came up when a Mozillian answered
a question on Wikimedia or vice versa and this worked especially well when
you ended up refering interested individuals to the respective reps. It was
actually a plus in indicating that we are two distinct organization who
simply love hanging around each other.
One thing that I feel needs improvement though is detecting interested
individuals and engaging them further. I loved it when Hezy and Jeff
(Mozillians) did spot a guy, not sure from where but was quite interested.
Same case happened while we were at the Strathmore ICT conf. and Steve and
Vicky again :) engaged a Kabarak official which led us to this event. I feel
that we can do more here and the above are perfect examples.
Our booths are massive crowd pullers; even other booths visit us :) we
should put up strategies around this to better engage people.
Thats all for now!
A very excited,
Alex.

Thanks for the report, Steve!
Sounds great! I'd love to hear a little more about the integration with
the
Mozilla team, specifically -- what worked, what
didn't(?), how to improve.
Thanks,
Asaf
