[Wikimedia Kenya] ABOUT THE PROJECT
by SAMSON MAOSA 07 Jan '11

07 Jan '11

Hi everyone. I was looking at this on the meta about the* Wikimedia Kenya Outreach Program<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Kenya/Project_for_Kenyan_Schools> * and I thought the Methodology section needs to be updated, since the pilot is no longer scheduled to cover all the indicated areas. Someone please remind me the areas covered by the pilot project, or rather update the meta. I was also thinking that since we now have our wikimedia site<http://www.wikimedia.or.ke>we should copy that page there, which I am already doing. Thanks -- Samson Arosi Maosa, Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, Bsc.

Hey guys, The Google meeting went well.I had audience with Dennis from The Localization team and some lady (excuse i don't remember her name :) ) from Google Community outreach team.Dennis sort to know how realy google Kenya could help us in this particular project(left the question open for us to present our detailed request) He also agreed to attend the launch and confirmed that atleast 3 people from Google will be at the Launch.He also agreed to host Mr.Ting on Tuesday 11th afternoon as we requested.I am yet to send them the official invitation.A further follow up meeting was proposed at a later date to be agreed on or even perhaps discuss the same during Mr.Tings visit. Anything? -- Limoke Oscar, Wikimedian in Kenya, Freelance Academic Writer and Translator, GeoInformatics and GIScience Student, Jomo Kenyatta University. Cell:+254 717 845 316

Hi. I am almost finishing editing the wiki that explains more about the launch and redirects to the registration form for the event. Find it HERE. I would like someone to edit the "Event Program" and "Contact Persons". I don't mind being one of the contact persons. Anyone who has the event's posters could also upload them and use them. This page can increase awareness about the event especially if we share it with our friends via email or social networks.

[Wikimedia Kenya] KU Meeting and Changes
by Limoke Oscar 07 Jan '11

07 Jan '11

Hey Guys, I hope we are all geared up to the launch.Dennis and I just had a succeseful meeting with Dr.Njoroge from KU.We discussed at length Chen's Visit and some changes were agreed .the deatails are as below: TALK Instead of Mr.Chen talk to the students,Njoroge was of the idea that since the students are still reporting to school,it would be embarrassing to have a talk with only a fistful of students.Instead,we agreed that we have audience with the VC and then visit some departments and meet the heads of departments,lecturers and a few students.The following will be the audience in the VC auditorium: - The VC - The 3 DVC's - The Director University Outreach - The Director University Outreacch - Director School of ICT - Director Confucius Center - Dean school of Education - 7 of us including Mr.Chen The departments to be visited are: - School of Education - ICT department - Department of Confucius-Chinese School. He also suggested that we claerly spell out our vison,mission and objectives in our presentation to the VC.The presentation should touch on wikipedia and other resources available in Wikimedia like Wikiversity and Wikibooks,Public Policy Initiative and Wikipedia Ambassadors among others(a power point presentation).He opined that the VC would be glad to know why we chose KU-mainly because its the premier campus training Educationists in Kenya.He also suggestde we present a specific message to KU like in terms of our request,what KU can contribute in terms of content development,research etc. We also explored the possibility of suggesting the KU VC be among the board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Kanya. We concluded the meeting with a tentative agenda of the meeting as below. *Proposed Program for Chen's KU Visit.* *9.30:* We congregate in Dr.Njoroges office before we proceed to the VC's boardroom 10: start of the meeting. - VC introduces Ku team and briefs us - Dr.Njoroge introduces Chen - Oscar introduces the Wiki team - Grace makes the PPT presentation - Chen makes our request and remarks - VC concludes - Group Photo - Visit to departments above Bye guys let US -Dennis and I-to the google meeting.later -- Limoke Oscar, Wikimedian in Kenya, Freelance Academic Writer and Translator, GeoInformatics and GIScience Student, Jomo Kenyatta University.
