Hello Everyone,
As some of us remember, Last year, we organized some Outreach Ecents across various regions in Kenya including Mombasa and Nakuru ( http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Kenya/Outreach_2012 )
The Mombasa Outreach was held in collaboration with the Kenyan Mozilla Community and the The Mombasa Tech Group in Mombasa. The Mombasa Tech Group is requesting if we could have such Outreach Events and allow them to engage and collaborate with us in various Wikimedia Related events/activities this year. To quote
We were thinking to collaborate with you on working out on a
Wikipedia/Wikimedia event whereby you guys can come down and train more and more people on Wikimedia. We can also discuss and plan for a competition related to Wikimedia commons,GLAM contest or anything interesting that will promote as well as benefit Wikimedia and the tech community as well.
I think this is a positive step in the r-grouping of our chapter and reaching out to newer member of the community and contributors. As such, can we start thinking and drawing up of a Schedule for the year and some of the events and activities we can engage in?
@Oscar, regarding Mombasa Tech, they are all about getting tech initiatives/activities such as Wikimedia happening in their region and from this idea, they've gone on to form a community.
From the way they work, you look for someone within the community who's
particularly interested in Wikimedia and they in turn would take a more proactive position within the community and Mombasa in general as a Wikimedian.
We have many people who contribute to Wikimedia as a synergy with a project they are working on, for Msa Tech it's important for them to gain recognition/acknowledgement of their efforts and by recognition. They've been holding Mozilla and Google events independently and I think we can get Wikimedia contributors from the group as well.
