Hey Abbas,

I think Oscar was referring to UoN as a place for a meet-up prior to the project launch. As Sam mentioned, we could use this meet-up as a workshop on how to use Kiwix as well as discuss other stuff in preparation for the launch.

The problem with having it at UoN is that their halls have inbuilt seats, meaning we can't put dinner tables.

Alternatively, we could change the date and still hold it at Strathmore: either on Thursday or Saturday. Problem is Thursday is in the middle of the week (making attendance difficult for the working class) while Saturday's too casual. And Saturday is also the date when Ting is going back:-(
