Such a shame and pain to us that Arusha actually bid for Wikimania 2014, with no Organized Chapter down there (-: and we had a very organized Chapter
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: James Forrester jdforrester@gmail.com Date: Mon, Mar 4, 2013 at 8:55 AM Subject: [Wikimania-l] Wikimania 2014: Official bid list To: "Wikimania general list (open subscription)" < wikimania-l@lists.wikimedia.org>
All,
To confirm, the candidate bids to host Wikimania 2014 are:
* Arusha, Tanzania * London, UK
The bids now have two weeks (until 23:59 UTC on 17 March 2013) to finalise all major information on their pages, responding to questions from the jury and the community, and prepare for the question-and-answer phase.
Good luck to both bids!
On behalf of the Wikimania 2014 Jury,
Yours, -- James D. Forrester jdforrester@gmail.com [[Wikipedia:User:Jdforrester|James F.]] (speaking purely in a personal capacity)

I don't think it's a shame, and shouldn't be a pain: organizing a bid is a lot of work, but is almost purely on-wiki, and can be done by one or two super-motivated individuals. That is very different from being able to actually plan and host the event itself, which requires months of work and more team members.
Anyhow, we should all be happy for our Tanzanian colleagues for having found the initiative and energy to do this. It's not a competition. :)
Like I said in my more formal letter, you must not look upon the expiration of the provisional recognition as a blow or as a failure -- it was merely a deadline expiring, for a formal process that doesn't actually matter as much as it used to, because we now have these new affiliation models, which would have been more suitable in the first place, had they existed at the time.
So I join the others in saying: let's focus on figuring out what are the things this group wants to do, then on the subset of them that this group can do, and go from there.
Cheer up, folks! :)

Yes. You might even try working with them to organize a shared regional event, if their bid for Wikimania itself doesn't work out. They clearly have a lot of energy for bringing people and speakers together around Wikimedia topics.

Yes. And once you have some projects underway, if they start to grow, you may always reapply to become a Chapter.

I agree with Asaf and Samuel. :)

I agree, Its a Challenge rather than an embarrassment to us. :-) What matters is now for us to re-energize ourselves and re-align our objectives to move forward.
Oliver, I am still calling on folks interested to join the User Group model so that we can re-establish a membership based on interests and commitment. Am assuming we will have to get new commitment from folks. So far we have : Dennis, Oliver, Steve and I. when we get to 6, we can have our 1st meeting. Yes?

Hi all,
I joined the Kenyan Wikimedia list early this year; I started editing pages following my attendance of Wikimania last year.
I have been following this discussion thread; whereas I was not part of Wikimedia in Kenya, I get the gist of what transpired, and what needs to be done moving forward.
You can include me as one of the six minimum members required to organise a meeting to jumpstart the movement in Kenya.
Cheers.
