Seems like there's preference for people to hold WikiSat at the convenience of their campuses. That's OK -- people are free to do do it wherever they find it most convenient.
Most of the students are on recess now in my university, so for the next couple of months I'll be popping in and out of iHub to edit. I think Grace might also accompany me. So for those who might not be able to go to campus for one reason or another, do ping me and we'll liaise our own WikiSaturday.
Regards, Abbas.

SUper IDEA Alex that would make respective campuses identify more with their chapter but offcourse that does not rule out occassional meetups of the BOARDs

Yah, awesome idea Oscar.
In my opinion, the best way to approach this would be through campus clubs, that way we won't have to worry about creating awareness and dealing with campus administration. This should be workable.

i think Oscar's idea is brilliant! That way we do not have to hold the meetings on saturday mornings they can even be held on weekdays maybe over lunch hour or in the evenings.

Greetings, @Oscar,
Guys, Another wild suggestion guys is since some of us JKUAT) are resuming session from this week onwards,and we have access to WiFi,what if we start thinking of having Local Campus WikiSaturdays?Like why should we have JKUAT guys having there own WikiSaturday and hoipefully recruit newbies in the Campus,Strath the same and staff...Plus anyone could attend any of
the
WikiDays he/she wishes and can make to.It would be quite cheap for both of us...Then we could have live discussions via IRC,chats,etherpads and staff....just an idea to make voluntary manageble to all of us...:P
That is a very clever and brilliant idea, and I can never say it better than you did. It go a long way in popularizing the idea of Wikipedia editing, and we could turn many of our Comrades from just consumers to Contributors of Wikipedia. I recommend that we give the thought consideration.
@ Oliver, I agree with you that this idea would make it very flexible. After all, it would be very expensive for me to travel all the way from Juja to Nairobi on a fixed day, but if we alternate the WikiSaturdays, I could choose a Saturday at my convenience (time
and finance) to be a guest in
another Wikisaturday and could even use the opportunity to debrief the members of that group concerning progress in our home group and the strategies we are employing ;) Have a great week all. --
