Hi all,
The 12th annual Strathmore ICT Conference is on next week (2 - 3 September): http://www.strathmore.edu/aboutus.php?id=186
When Asaf was here, he got to speak to the organizers and we are welcome to give a talk at the conference. In line with this year's theme for the conference: 'ICT for Development: People, Policy and Practice ' Asaf's suggestion:
" I would suggest using one of my talks as a basis, and expanding the section on offline work at the expense of general Wikipedia culture (NPOV, reliability, etc.). I.e. make this a presentation about Wikimedia Kenya's offline project rather than about Wikipedia." I can look into getting complementary tickets for the conference for a couple of guys who'll be Wikimedia's presence here.
cheers, Alex
hey Alex i'd love to attend however i can not guarantee as my schedule is unpredictable and i wouldnt want to commit myself.however i think making a presentation about wmke offline project should give us some publicity.IMO,I think we need it. cheers On Aug 24, 2011 8:49 PM, "Alex Wafula" xelawafs@yahoo.com wrote:

Great stuff!
Alas, I won't be able to attend as I'll be running a seminar of my own from Sep 2.
Otoh, I'm currently representing SIL and Wikimedia at ACALAN's 3-day seminar on promoting and establishing a pan-African Swahili Language Commission, cf. http://www.acalan.org/eng/events/nairobi_workshop.php
All the best,
Oliver (aka BT)
