Hi guys,
I know it's great for us to get support from local companies, but what plans do we have for potential Wikimedia project contributors. I feel we should reserve some space for such, give me your thoughts.
Sam, Oscar has a point I think you can be excused from work especially on a Friday afternoon. I still see Friday as the best day for this.
Cheers! Alex!

Sorry I wasn't clear. The attachments are from Jaanuary to April, for a minimum of 2 months. Since we have applied in different companies, they are the ones to decide when to call you for the attachment, so I just hope mine will come abit later, because if it is scheduled to start in January, I will be in a very critical position

Sam,
I'm sorry, I'm not getting you: is it between January and April(ie 4 months) or January and April alone?
We'll take your issue into consideration, but at last week's meetup, David suggested that we schedule the event on Friday afternoon since it might be difficult to convince corporate guests to attend the event on a weekend.

Grace, That is a very good work plan. As for the venue, I find the three venues you proposed very convenient, including the Strathmore auditorium, so whichever you find most convenient cost wise will still be very ok. Abbas, I have one concern about the set dates for the launch and conduction of the pilot project: You see here in JKUAT, our industrial attachments are normally conducted between January and April for a minimum of 8 weeks, so you may find some of us held up in the industries from Monday to Friday during that time and you know you cannot miss the attachment, neither can you absent yourself. How will it be? That is an issue we should put into consideration, because I wouldn't want my activities to collide with each other. Let me get the views of every member on this. Thanks

The expected guest will be Ting Chen, Chairman of the Foundation's Board of Trustees. Propaply a Foundation staff member might come as well.
While Grace has volunteered to organise the launch's budget, I'm also working with a ChapCom member to calculate the project's budget as well as submitting a grant proposal to WMF.
Grace, rather than having snacks, isn't dinner much better?

Hi people.am sure abbas will update you on the fact that the foundation has agreed to send someone for the event.he requested me to prepare a planning list of the event which ave done as below.
1)we need a budget that caters for
- a venue that has internet access
- tea/snacks after the event.
- a projector and microphones.
-transport for the letters deliverer.
2)i think we are budgeting for app 50 pple but its open for debate and adjustment.
3)the budget needs to be sent to the foundation as early as possible.
4)letters need to be written and delivered to the guests before they break for the holidays.
VENUE: About the venue,our plan is to minimise costs as much as possible but still have a quality and wonderful event.i have sent an email to sarova stanley and safari park asking them to sent me the quotes for holding a half day event from 2pm and serve snacks at the end and provide a projector and microphones.i should have the price quotes by monday.anyone who knows a hotel that does good outside catering should get into contact with them,know the prices ,inform us so that we can compare.
Alternatively we could hold the event at the strathmore university auditorium which is very beutiful and has free microphones,projector and internet.its normally decorated very elegantly and all we have to do is outsource the tea after.the university charges app 10,000 for corprate oprganisations but i will confirm on monday.The university offers the round tables and chairs.we could have the top students present some award winning i.t projects during the event.(thats just my idea,if you guys oppose,then we eliminate it)
our plan is to have a budget by next week friday so that abbas can foward it to the foundation and we can set our minds on drafting the letter.( a volunteer would be of help).
let us know your views,proposals and suggestions.

Good question, Alex.
My suggestion would be to invite them to ihub and give them an editing tutorial. That was just a quick thought. My opinion is that encouraging people to edit Wiki is another project on its own. Your thoughts?
