Aw, must have skipped my mind :) So as Steve mentioned, it would be great if we could include a brief about Openzim and the process involved in creating a zim file for our talk next week at the Strathmore ICT Conference. Basically the tools and process need to publish a ZIM file. Alex.

Having heard that,I think it is good to get a deeper understanding of the ZIM file creation,what we are doing to have a customized Kenyan Wikipedia for Schools and the tools involved among other ICT related issues.

I guess the slides question has been answered. So a call for papers for the conference was conducted earlier this year and talks settled on. Ours being a late inclusion, I was to meet with a conference committee member yesterday to settle on this but he's been out of office today and yesterday. I'll meet him tomorrow. Alex.

There's also a repository of presentations on meta that you might also want to check. Slideshare also has some Wikipedia presentations. Sue, Jimmy and Stuart from WMF have all made presentations at TED -- in case you have a decent internet connection, you might want to watch their videos as well. In fact, I also have the slides that Sue made for TEDxDubai. Lastly, the Wikimania website is also full of presentations that you might want to go through. > >Again, sorry for not providing links -- I'm using my cell. > >Personally, I don't think I'll manage to attend the conference since I'll be in Mombasa celebrating Eid next week. > >Abbas. > >Date: Thu, 25 Aug 2011 10:37:07 +0300 >From: wanjaustev(a)gmail.com >To: wikimediake(a)lists.wikimedia.org >Subject: Re: [Wikimedia Kenya] Strathmore ICT Conference > >Alex, > >I shall be available to attend the conference personally and as a representative of WMKE and unofficially for the WMF.Not unless something crops up. > >However, I have a few Q's; > >Are we expected to make the presentation on the 2nd September or 3rd September? > >Did anyone get the slides that Asaf used during his presentations here in Kenya?

[Wikimedia Kenya] Meeting with The Eric Latiff
by Kosgei Isaac 25 Aug '11

25 Aug '11

Hi Guys, Just had a discussion with my Friend Eric Latiff of Capital fm, with whom Asaf and I met last week- His message via SMS is "*I liked the meeting we had with Asaf, I think wikimedia is a very Good Project- Count me in"* he is therefore requesting a meeting with members more so Abbas, so that we can discuss how the media will be involved in our projects- Mind you he wants to Join WMF and will also be our link to all major media houses. Let me know your take on this Regards Isaac -- Isaac K. Kosgei. WebRep Overall rating

[Wikimedia Kenya] Strathmore ICT Conference
by Alex Wafula 25 Aug '11

25 Aug '11

Hi all, The 12th annual Strathmore ICT Conference is on next week (2 - 3 September): http://www.strathmore.edu/aboutus.php?id=186 When Asaf was here, he got to speak to the organizers and we are welcome to give a talk at the conference. In line with this year's theme for the conference: 'ICT for Development: People, Policy and Practice ' Asaf's suggestion: " I would suggest using one of my talks as a basis, and expanding the section on offline work at the expense of general Wikipedia culture (NPOV, reliability, etc.). I.e. make this a presentation about Wikimedia Kenya's offline project rather than about Wikipedia." I can look into getting complementary tickets for the conference for a couple of guys who'll be Wikimedia's presence here. cheers, Alex
