Hi Jessie, I am sorry I couldn't connect to the IRC Yesterday coz of internet problems. I like the Idea proposed by Alex. At the moment I am working
on a student start up project https://sites.google.com/site/kwetumapmakercompetition/project-definition and we are opening chapters in all Universities in Kenya, currently we
are promoting projects like google map maker https://sites.google.com/site/kwetumapmakercompetition/home and several other programs like internship for students
we will go from university to University as from next week to market the idea and if members agree we can incorporate Wikimedia in our programme.

Hey everyone -
I thought I'd weigh in here regarding the clubs!
On IRC yesterday a group of us had a really interesting talk about how to work more collaboratively with schools in the context of student run groups. You can see all the notes on the Outreach wiki:
http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/2011,_27_April_-_IRC_student_club_convers...
Someone suggested, as Alex did in this email chain, about in some cases
simply joining in with similar groups/clubs on campus which already exist. I think this is a great and really smart idea for a lot of reasons, which I don't think I need to put here.
Are there like-minded organizations that come to mind for you in Kenya? One
international organization which fits really well is Students of Free Culture (http://freeculture.org/), but I don't know if they have locations in Kenya.
A benefit of a group/club versus a competition is that it is more permanent and consistent: not a one-time affair like a competition. But I agree competitions are really useful tools for recruitment, I am just highlighting
the differences.
Best - Jessie

Maybe you want to find out from Maria Alphonse @Dar how they’re running
their wikipedia student club. Muddyb tells me it’s been running since last year.

My Idea was since most of our campuses have "free" WiFi connection,we could
find a few interested students and share with them the editing in Wikipedia.I am not for the creation of Clubs,just some form of informal association where we can get guys together and do staff together...or get
ourselves together from the same campus and do editing together.:P
Although I totally agree with your "code 254 theory".
