We had an offline conference a number of years ago. A lot has changed since
then. Wondering if folks think it would be useful having an offline day
before or after Wikimania or Wiki Con North America etc?
By the way the sales page is up again at the Wikipedia store
https://store.wikimedia.org/products/internet-in-a-box
We are also looking at expanding the sites of assembly. And discussing if
we should add more options of machines, ie rasp pi 4 or 5

Thanks Stephane, we have recently shipped another 190 units to the
Wikipedia Store. It will take a bit more work on both our ends before
we can get more for sale and this will not be until December at the
earliest. So still a limited supply :-)

Hi all,
Wikimania is in Nairobi next year, and as it happens, Kiwix is booming in
Africa. The Open Foundation West Africa has put a lot of resources into
building user communities, which was obvious at the recent Wiki Indaba in
Johannesburg, where there was a hackathon channel
<https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiIndaba_conference_2024/Program#Hackat…>
for the second time.
So, what James is saying makes sense!
Regards,
