Hello,
You all know that we are supposed to not only attend an open source dayhttp://eucossa.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=48&Itemid=50at Egerton University but also give a talk at the event.
The audience shall comprise of students, lecturers and other techies interested in open source technologies and how these tech can be used to attain vision 2030 http://www.vision2030.go.ke/.
Free knowledge should go the greatest way to attain the vision 2030 and so the talk shall be a good chance to talk about the Wikimedia Strategies that have been laid to reach more people in this part of the world.
Some of the things we might share with the attendants:
*A general introduction to the WMF.
*A call for contributors/volunteers with the WMF projects.
* The off line Wikipedia - kiwix reader - and how the folks at Kiwix get to dump the articles so that they can be read off-line.
* The recent collaborations with Mobile Service Providers to offer Wikipedia free of data charges.
*Increase reach especially in Africa and the global south where Internet usage growth is projected to grow by more than 10% by 2015.
*I have been liaising with the organizer and they promised that we shall have our booth where participants of this event shall pass-by as we have a word or two plus recruit more contributors to the Wikimedia.
My two cents of what we expected to preach at the outreach on the coming weekend.
I have not yet confirmed my personal attendance of this event but I will do so by Thursday evening.
So far two people have confirmed their attendance of this event.

This is so cool!
I think this has gotten passed around before, but in case it has not, here is a repository of outreach materials created by some Indian Wikimedians which they use in various outreach events.

Hopefully some of them will be of use to you! Jessie

Hallo everyone, A team of three Wiki-medians managed to attend the ICT open day at Egerton University together with a team of three members from Mozilla. The event was quite informative and entertaining and Stephen made the presentation. We managed to talk to a few students who didn't hesitate to show their interests on the activities of Wiki-medians both locally and internationally. More so, they requested we visit for a whole day so that we teach them how to edit the wiki and elaborate more on the activities of Wikimedia as a whole. This was emphasized even more when a discussion started over the lunch break regarding the decentralization of Wikimedia KE activities from Nairobi to other parts of the country. The conclusion from the discussion was that, if we can manage to have more editors or Wikimedia enthusiasts in different regions of the country, we will surely have an easier time attracting more editors as well as getting more local contributions to the wiki's. Congrats to my fellow Wiki-Moz team for their contributions that made this out reach not only successful but also enjoyable and quite memorable. Regards,
