Hi David. It is not a bad thing to nominate yourself. Considering the period we have and from my past experience (Wikimania 2010), it would be easier on someone who already has a travel passport. According to me, we should consider the following when sending someone:
1. Someone who has thorough acquaintance with the activities of Wikimedia Kenya, ranging from the formation to the current progress and projects...to the future plans of the chapter 2. Considering that the period between now and 27th March is very short, I would prefer someone who already has a travel passport or one who is sure to acquire it by then 3. Though not very necessary, we should consider gender sensitivity (1 female and 1 male) 4. A question that needs clarity to me since I haven't visited the registration page: who is gonna support the travel ticket and sponsor the stay there? 5. Consider the availability of the chosen persons. Let's not choose someone who will later start giving apologies that they are committed somewhere and can't make it to the conference
I will not nominate anyone for now until I hear the sentiments of the other team members.
- Whoever we choose, please represent us well. Cheers

Guys,
Am sure you saw Bence Damokos' mail on the Wikimedia Conference 2011, we are meant to nominate 2 people to represent us... I had assumed it was a selection so I had gone ahead and filled the forms.
I post this to invite nominations for the same... am not sure if am allowed to but I would nominate myself alongside someone else... but I think lets agree on a criteria for the same, I believe it needs to be of benefit to all of us. So lets hear you.
