[Wikimedia Kenya] 2012 Road Map
by Alex Wafula 31 Jan '12

31 Jan '12

Hi all, I hoped by now we'd have received confirmation to go ahead and register locally. Anyhu, I've been chatting with Isaac and we thought we could go ahead and have a meetup to put up a road map for 2012 (or at least the first 2 quarters). The list (community) has been quiet for a while so this can be great start to kick-start stuff. If guys are up to it, how does mid Feb sound for such a meetup sound? Alex

[Wikimedia Kenya] WMKE Representatives for the Wikimedia Conference 2012 in Berlin
by Asaf Bartov 28 Jan '12

28 Jan '12

Hi, everyone. I was wondering if you have at least one or two folks subscribed to the chapters-only mailing list (chapters(a)wikimedia.ch), where Harel Cain, this year's program manager for the Wikimedia Conference in Berlin, has been inviting chapters to start thinking about their representation in Berlin this year. He has asked me to make sure WMKE is aware of the invitation, and I quote his e-mail for your consideration below. Note that he sent it to me expressly for the purpose of helping it reach all the chapters that haven't responded yet -- neither I nor anyone else from the Foundation is subscribed to the chapters-only mailing list, and this is deliberately so. You may remember that last year, your delegates in Berlin were Abbas and Limoke. You can read all about the conference, and past years' conferences, here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/**wiki/Wikimedia_Conference_**2012<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Conference_2012/> Cheers, Asaf ==================================== From: Harel Cain <harel.cain(a)wikimedia.de> Date: Tue, Jan 24, 2012 at 21:26 Subject: Re: [Chapters] **Reminder** Registration for Chapters Meeting 2012: YOUR ACTION REQUIRED To: chapters(a)wikimedia.ch Dear all, In the eleven days since I first sent out the e-mail below, quite a few chapters have chosen their delegates to the Chapters Conference 2012 or at least an interim contact person for the chapters has signed up in http://meta.wikimedia.org/**wiki/Wikimedia_Conference_**2012/Participants<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Conference_2012/Participants> . However, we still haven't received any sign of life from the following chapters, and our plans are for registration to end in less than two weeks' time, by February 5th! So may I please remind you all to speed up the choice of your representatives to ChapConf12 - our time is running out. I would also like to repeat that Wikimedia Deutschland, our kind host, will be covering the flight and accommodation costs for chapters who cannot afford it themselves. Please, if you're from one of these chapters - list yourself as an interim contact person. If you know how to contact anyone from those chapters and think they are not following the list - please forward this to them. * Wikimedia Brazil (chapter-to-be, probably not on this list yet - can someone forward this to any of their people?) * Wikimedia Canada (are they on the list?) * Wikimedia Deutschland * Wikimedia DC (too busy with Wikimania?) * Wikimedia Espana * Wikimedia France * Wikimedia Hong Kong * Wikimedia Indonesia (Siska, you there?) * Wikimedia Italia * Wikimedia Kazakhstan (chapter-to-be, probably not on this list yet - can someone forward this to any of their people?) * Wikimedia Kenya (chapter-to-be, probably not on this list yet - can someone forward this to any of their people?) * Wikimedia Macedonia (Kiril, you there?) * Wikimedia Macau (are they on the list?) * Wikimedia Mexico * Wikimedia Norge * Wikimedia Polska * Wikimedia Portugal * Wikimedia Russia * Wikimedia Serbia * Wikimedia Taiwan * Wikimedia Ukraine * Wikimedia South Africa (apparently being added to the list as we speak) Thank you everyone!

[Wikimedia Kenya] WMKE T-shirt
by stephen wanjau 17 Jan '12

17 Jan '12

Hi Nice people, I do hope that you relished your holidays as I did. This is yet another year that we shall carry on to share free knowledge in the best conceivable ways that we can. Our chapter received a start-up grant that shall facilitate us in our endeavours. A portion of this shall go into printing promotional t-Shirts among some other things. This is part of the swag that we shall use at the KU visit which is slated for any time soon. On that note, the T-shirt design template has already been put up by Alex and you can as well air your views and suggestions regarding the design on the list. Regards, Stephen. -- *"Better Late Than Never, But Never Late is Better"* My Blog <http://uwanja.wordpress.com> | @uwanja <https://twitter.com/#%21/uwanja>| Facebook <http://www.facebook.com/swanjau> | This message represents the official view of the voices in my head.

[Wikimedia Kenya] Open Cyber Café Challenge
by Alex Wafula 06 Jan '12

06 Jan '12

Hey all, I'll be working on a template over Dec and part of Jan on how an Open Cyber Café should operate and look like. By open meaning it supports/runs open tech/knowledge software and provides information to customers around the same. Even with picking up of Internet access over mobile phones, Cyber Café's are still huge in Kenya (and Africa) with their core business being charging for Internet access. Sorry, no references, just my eyes (0_0) I plan to use the template later on to run an Open Cyber Café challenge. The winning Cyber will of-course get featured and gain more popularity both locally and Internationally; you never know, it might be an alternative hacker space. Some goodies / prizes should also come in handy. Currently, I'm getting in-touch with a couple of open-source enthusiasts mostly for swag (posters, brochures etc) to distribute among participating Cafés I'm looking forward to have Wikimedia on the template so suggestions/comments are welcomed. --Alex
