Hi all,
The 12th annual Strathmore ICT Conference is on next week (2 - 3
September): http://www.strathmore.edu/aboutus.php?id=186
When Asaf was here, he got to speak to the organizers and we are welcome
to give a talk at the conference. In line with this year's theme for the conference: 'ICT for Development: People, Policy and Practice ' Asaf's suggestion:
" I would suggest using one of my talks as a basis, and expanding the section on offline work at the expense of general Wikipedia culture (NPOV, reliability, etc.). I.e. make this a presentation about Wikimedia Kenya's offline project rather than about Wikipedia." I can look into getting complementary tickets for the conference for a
couple of guys who'll be Wikimedia's presence here.
cheers, Alex
