      Hey Abbas,
Would like to join the WikiSat at iHub. But then, I really get what the
WikiSats are up to? Please brief me on this.
Regards.
Cliff.

Seems like there's preference for people to hold WikiSat at the convenience
of their campuses. That's OK -- people are free to do do it wherever they
find it most convenient.
Most of the students are on recess now in my university, so for the next
couple of months I'll be popping in and out of iHub to edit.  I think Grace
might also accompany me. So for those who might not be able to go to campus
for one reason or another, do ping me and we'll liaise our own WikiSaturday.
Regards,
Abbas.

Yah, awesome idea Oscar.
In my opinion, the best way to approach this would be through campus clubs,
that way we won't have to worry about creating awareness and dealing with
campus administration. This should be workable.
Alex.

i think Oscar's idea is brilliant! That way we do not have to hold the
meetings on saturday mornings they can even be held on weekdays maybe over
lunch hour or in the evenings.

Greetings,
@Oscar,

Guys,
Another wild suggestion guys is since some of us JKUAT) are resuming
session from this week onwards,and we have access to WiFi,what if we
start
...
...
...
thinking of having Local Campus WikiSaturdays?Like why should we have
JKUAT
...
...
...
guys having there own WikiSaturday and hoipefully recruit newbies in
the
...
...
...
Campus,Strath the same and staff...Plus anyone could attend any of
the
...
...
...
WikiDays he/she wishes and can make to.It would be quite cheap for both
of
...
...
...
us...Then we could have live discussions via IRC,chats,etherpads and
staff....just an idea to make voluntary manageble to all of us...:P
...
...
...
That is a very clever and brilliant idea, and I can never say it better
than you did. It go a long way in popularizing the idea of Wikipedia
editing, and we could turn many of our Comrades from just consumers to
...
...
Contributors of Wikipedia. I recommend that we give the thought
consideration.
@ Oliver, I agree with you that this idea would make it very flexible.
After all, it would be very expensive for me to travel all the way from
Juja
...
...
to Nairobi on a fixed day, but if we alternate the WikiSaturdays, I
could
...
...
choose a Saturday at my convenience (time
and finance) to be a guest in
...
...
another Wikisaturday and could even use the opportunity to debrief the
members of that group concerning progress in our home group and the
strategies we are employing ;)
...
...
Have a great week all.
