Guys,

Good progress, I have been off the boat for a little, had a little of an
offline project. I am back on a marathon... there is not much time, lets get
this done. Please feel free to delegate any dedicated tasks to me.

I will arrange for the Wikimedia rep to speak at one of the high profile
business meetups in Nairobi too as part of the schedule.

David.
