Thanks, Abbas.

Do I understand it right that Asaf will not be meeting with chapter members? Or will there be a chapter meeting too next week?

Thanks so much Asaf you really inspired us.
Members I enjoyed Wikimania 2011 and I must say it was a big experience to me. I want to thank Jessie Wild for her invaluable support and Guidance, Abbas for being with us every step of the way, Ting Chen for his advice.
I met and held several meetings with editors from all over the world and the most notable ones were as follows:
1. A meeting with Wikimedia UK members including the chair person Roger Bamkin- who FYI paid for my ticket and accommodation expenses, I also met with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Rich_Farmbrough and together we presented a project on the translation of HIV/AIDS information into local languages in Sub Saharan Africa with Kenya as a Lead chapter.
2.Meeting with various members of the New york Chapter.
3. Meeting with Italian Chapter members-they are interested in supporting Kenyan Chapter.
I also met the following people briefly- Sue Gardner-Wikimedia Ceo, Jimmy Wales-Wikimedia Founder,Frank Schulenburg
Global Education Program Director, and almost all the Board members. Check out the Photos in http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Kipsizoo
Here is one of the mails I got as a follow up to one of the meetings I held.
