[Wikimedia Kenya] Coming out and to birth!
by stephen wanjau 02 May '13

02 May '13

I have kissed ass for more than a year now...I am the most shaded African Wikipedian....Yes I ate the donors money as most allege and so what? .... I do not wish to take this with me to the grave...hate me or love me now as it makes no difference... I hate all of you. At my tender age my parents never knew about this white elephant.They hate me because of this humanitarian movement that I dropped both my feet into... I paid for some of your escapades with your girlfriends using the donors money. I was so naive and effed up. As far as Dubai since local was too mainstream I financed you and some of you and your girlfriends. That is for the inner cycle and for some I have decided to donate the money since you have never appraised the debts till now. I still have the statements till now from equity bank and KCB bank. I have all the records with me.....the statements, withdrawals and everything else as shocking as the next line. I hate myself and I still love sharing free knowledge. It is the key to love and live that keeps me going. EFF you and me. Yours faithfully, Stephen

Re: [Wikimedia Kenya] Wikimedia User Group Kenya

I reckon Dennis's suggestion of a meet up is the best place to post out these things. Though There's a 97% chance I won't be there, my feeling is we should first establish who from the old group still want to give the project another go, then chase after new blood. On the name front I'm for staying as close to the old identity as possible if a name change becomes the way forward. ------------------------------ On Fri, Apr 5, 2013 17:44 MSKS Limoke Oscar wrote: >Hi folks, > >I am initiating efforts to recreate/re-start a Wikimedia User Group. >Questions I have for those interested to be part of the user group: > > 1.

[Wikimedia Kenya] Wikimedia User Group Kenya
by Limoke Oscar 05 Apr '13

05 Apr '13

Hi folks, I am initiating efforts to recreate/re-start a Wikimedia User Group. Questions I have for those interested to be part of the user group: 1. Should we start a whole new group with different name, entity and people from WMKE or build on the remains of WMKE? 2. Should we focus on same goals and objectives as WMKE or should we redefine our own based on our learnings and experiences with the Chapter? 3. Name? What would be the prefered user group name? Please add more discussion points and solutions so that we can get up and running as soon as possible. Hopefully by the time we have a meetup, we will have solidified some of this things and by the time Kul visits us, we will be a formidable group once again. Please provide input lest if no one provides input in time, I will go on and file the user group details at my own *discretion. * * * Look forward to more interesting discussions and insights on way forward.

[Wikimedia Kenya] Introductions
by Victor Grigas 03 Apr '13

03 Apr '13

Hi Kenyan Wikipedians, Currently there are no free images of Wikipedia Zero and I'd like to change that! I'd like to introduce you to Omar Nabulsi, a photographer currently employed at Sony who is volunteering his services to document Wikipedia Zero in South Africa and Kenya. In a week, he will be documenting Kul Wadhwa as he makes deals with mobile carriers in both countries and while he isn't doing that his goal is to document Wikipedia Zero on mobile phones, and the distribution of mobile devices in Africa. His original plan was to find a good taxi driver who would be able to show him around town and I was like - wait let me send an email to a few people first. So if anyone here has the bandwidth to help Omar in his task, he is cc'd. Thanks for reading & if you want to ask me about anything please feel free, I want to respect everyone's time.
