Team,
The idea of mtg at different stations is quite brilliant esp  for us in the 'diaspora'. However for this saturday i will be out of the country till 8th May so wont attend but i look forward to more of these 'editing' business and much more. Besides am really learning connectivity issues and freeware...think it was a good idea joining WikimediaKE!
 
Chris will update me on the on-goings of the meetup.
 
Regards,

Regarding the venue, Jessica Colaco suggested we also try Nailab (same building as iHub)

I've already inquired regarding this and I'll let you know as soon as I receive feedback.

Alex.
