Also, perhaps non-Nairobi residents can start similar meetups in their own area.  

If you're thinking "but there are no Wikipedians in my town", consider *making your own peers* -- that is, announce a lecture about Wikipedia in some local venue (it can be very small), and try to motivate people to try editing Wikipedia (or Wiktionary, etc.).  If one gives a few of those lectures, I'm sure one can find a few interested people and create a local meetup.  Where it goes from there is up to the team.

Just a thought. :)

Cheers,

Hey Sam, my suggestion would be to have online updates of the same where guys outside Nairobi or those who can't attend physically may get a chance to participate.

Cheers,
Alex.
