Hi Kosgei (and all),
Good luck :) And I can vouch for the UK chair (Roger) - met him and his wife in Haifa.
Thank You.
Re promotion - it'd also be worth contacting the WP:SIGNPOST guys from en.wikipedia - they have an email address at WikipediaSignpost@Gmail.com, this gets the word out throughout the Wikipedia community
We will definately involve them in promoting this. Thank you for this info and email address .
best regards, stephen.

Hi guys, Sorry to be so silent I have been busy with my new Job and getting to fix one or two things around. So My take on Wikipedia Takes Nairobi is that we should not postpone it again, lets do it this November. Today I had a lengthy discussion with Eric Latiff and he suggests that we have a one week Hype/ promotion before we launch it. he is also Ok with the prizes and the venue and he suggests that we promote it via Social media. I had a meeting with another Journalist friend of mine from Us working for the Huffington post yesterday and they will be glad to write an article and post the results of the competition. Over the last week I have been discussing with Iolanda Pensa from Italy and she also says that Domus magazine would be really interested in publishing the results of Wikipedia takes Nairobi. Domus is a quite well-know magazine specialized in architecture and design in Italy. Regarding the sponsorship of the competition I had a discussion with Alex about it today and we are awaiting the reply from Wikimedia France. WMUK are also willing to sponsor I had a discussion with their chair today.
Wishing you all a nice evening and lets all work to make this a reality.
