Hello,
So far only five guys have filled in their names at the etherpad.
I will organize with BT to get the tourists permit just in case it might be requested for by a person in authority.
We hope to meet at the Tom Mboya monument at 10:00am where we shall decide which route to take as per the goals here.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_takes_Nairobi/Goals * Basic requirements:*
- Camera (not compulsory!) - Walk/Vehicle to move around/ public transport/ autos are also okay. - Data cable/ card reader for transfer of photos. - Disable on-image timestamps or other data that appears over-top of images. - Please empty the memory card.
*Other activities:*
- Encourage new people from outside the community to join. - This is a team event.
*Do's:*
- Bring plenty of water. - Do not worry about the angles/ nitty gritties of the photo or your camera skills! - Try and take a clear shot of the building. - Note down the list of places, names of buildings that you photograph. - If you learn something new about a landmark/ statue/ building, do pass on the info. It would be very useful to update in the wiki pages. - If you want to leave early, make sure you transfer your pictures to team volunteer.
*Do not:*
- Do not take pictures of people - To maintain a level of decency and also not to breach privacy - Remember that all photos will be used for Wikipedia, hence do not include personal photos. - Personal photos will not be considered for selection. - Do not waste time, respect the time limit. - Do not go into people's homes to photograph. All photos to be buildings/ statues/ landmarks of Nairobi. - Do not take photos where it is prohibited to do so.
Just in case something is not clear, please feel free to ask.
regards,
Stephen.

Hey Isaac,
Yah, we have a target list which will focus on the CBD and partially Upper Hill. This is derived from the one we had for WTN. Copies will be printed out to teams on D-Day
And if you are turining up for this, please put up your name on this pad: http://etherpad.wikimedia.org/wtn for planning purposes.

Hi guys,
This sounds more ridiculous by the minute. Do you want to "hire" me as a tourist who's taking pictures? :) Unfortunately, I wouldn't be available tomorrow (Thursday) in order to accompany you to the City Council to get a tourist photo permission (I'm sure that tourists don't need a letter from the ministry of anywhere). But on Saturday, I'd be happy to accompany you (of course, I'm only one non-African-looking guy, so if you have several groups, I could only accompany one).
Hope the photo walk doesn't die on us for Saturday. Oliver (aka BT)

Hello,
I already have made arrangements to have our local chapter T-shirt by the end of this week.
On another note, I passed by the City council of Nairobi to ascertain the results of my request to allow Wikipedians to take photos around Nairobi on the coming weekend only to find shock on me!!
They told me that I needed a letter from the Ministry of Information and communication. On asking them why? They quipped that I must have it so that it can be attached to my earlier request.
I would love to be part of the team headed to Mombasa for the outreach activity.
PS: There is another invitation by the Egerton University to attend an Open Source day they will be having on 10th March 2011.
