My suggestion would be Nairobi instead of Nyeri, Central province so that those of us who wun't be able to travel to any of the other two areas [because of internship or school] can be involved in the pilot as well. From: abbasjnr(a)hotmail.com To: wikimediake(a)lists.wikimedia.org Date: Sun, 28 Nov 2010 08:27:00 +0000 Subject: [Wikimedia Kenya] New Suggestions Hi guys, Yesterday I got to have an impromptu chat with the newest of the members: Jessica & Sameer. Since both of them come from Strath, I also invited the rest of the Strath team. Jessica had the following suggestions regarding the launch and the pilot program: *That we host the launch at Strathmore Auditorium*, to cut down on venue expenses;*That the pilot should cover about 3 regions (and not the initial 10. It is a ''pilot'', after all.)*Since this was not a formal meetup, there were no minutes taken - so pardon me if there is any other issue that was raised that I have left out. After Jessica left, the rest of us (Alex, Sameer and myself) debated on which 3 regions we would select. I suggested that it would be logical to first cut off the regions that did not yet have the ten schools. These were: Kisii, Nakuru, Laikipia, Kericho & Eldamaravin. The regions that are complete, as of today are: Mombasa, Nairobi, kakamega, Meru, Vihiga & Nyeri. Out of these six: we chose: 1. Mombasa, Coast Province2. Nyeri, Central Province.3. Kakamega, Western Province. The above three regions are diverse and will give us a fair representation of what to expect when we move countrywide, as we would have had different experiences from these three provinces. Please note that the above were our suggestions only, and you all have the right to voice out your suggestions as well. I think Alex/Sameer/Jessica/Ann will fill in any details that I might have left out. Thanks,Abbas. *P.S. - Please note that the Wikipedians in Bristol will also be holding their event at a University; and the Founder will be there: http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol -------------------------------------- Feel free to contact me: Abbas Mahmood Tel: +254722215101 Facebook: abbasjnr(a)hotmail.com Skype: Abbasjnr Wikimedia Kenya Member "Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge.
