I would like to commend WMKE's representatives, Alex and Isaac, for their excellent participation in Wikimania.  They have both been active in and out of the sessions, exchanging ideas and experience with their peers from around the world, offering input during the sessions, and socializing and creating contacts during the breaks and the parties.

That's the way you do it! :)

I look forward to seeing all of you very soon (next week!) in Nairobi.

Hi all,

Just got back home and it's been great! I'll be catching up on campus stuff the next day or two before getting back to the list.

Isaac's been a superstar back in Haifa, laying foundations for new Wikimedia projects we can pursue in Kenya and Africa in general most notably being this: http://wikimania2011.wikimedia.org/wiki/Schedule/Lightning_Talks#AIDS.2FHIV_information_in_Sub_Saharan_Africa.2C_in_selected_languages

Other viable projects we've been involved in, collected contacts and hope can be pursued locally are:
  • Offline Wikipedia
  • Campus Ambassadors program
  • WikiAfrica (looking forward to assist us in local projects)
  • Wikipedia Takes the City (Wikimedia France are willing to fund this. Abbas got in touch and I eventually got to meet the chapter's president)
  • Wiki loves Monuments
  • Research on Oral Citation (presented by Achal, awesome guy!)
Well there's a lot to cover so we'll probably result to having different threads for specific topics. Look out for the pics, coming up soon! Anyhu, I'm off to take a nap.

Ps: Asaf's coming next week and he's really looking to his stay here.

cheers,
Alex
