[Wikimedia Kenya] Wikipedia Takes Nairobi
by Alex Wafula 27 May '11

27 May '11

So answering Oscar's question. I've designed 3 slightly different logos for this that I'll put up for you guys to select and give suggestions leading to the final one. As for the site to cater for registration and uploading of pictures, we'll be using a scavenger hunt web app administered by fellow Wikimedians which has previously been used for Wikipedia takes the City events. I'll get intouch with Pharos - one of the admins - to get an account for us. Kobia from ICT board has been on leave and should have returned by now. I'll ping her in a sec to check on the status of the meetup with local sponsors. Cheers, Alex.

[Wikimedia Kenya] Africa Open Days
by Alex Wafula 25 May '11

25 May '11

Hi guys, I just blogged about Africa Open Days here: http://www.mozilla-kenya.org/blog/12-africa-open-days. Basically, it's an event that will showcase open-source technologies through talks and demos on open tech in Africa and the first stop, well you guessed it, Kenya! Currently, the main organizers for this are guys from Mozilla and Fedora. I feel that Wikimedia will perfectly fit in this event and we could probably have demos and talks around Wikipedia, Mediawiki, Commons etc. A date hasn't been decided yet but it will probably be around September. Let me know what you think regarding having Wikimedia taking part in this. cheers, Alex!

23 May '11

Greetings, Eric Zachte, Wikimedia's Data Analyst has come up with a visualisation map that shows the Wikipedia edits made from all over the world. For more info, check this out: http://blog.wikimedia.org/2011/05/22/new-interactive-visualization-shows-gl…. One thing that caught my eye: *There are some edits in Kenya that are made on the Spanish Wikipedia. Kenya & South Africa are the only countries in Africa that had Spanish editors during May 2011: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Global_distribution_of_Wikipedia_edi… Yours, Abbas.
