Hi all,
Like last year, I will be presenting, together with Deror Lin, the coolest projects of the Wikimedia chapters. I hope you could (together) try to determine your coolest three projects of the past year (between Wikimania 2011 and Wikimania 2012), and have someone enter that in this form https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dENaVEUybm1OaEJZYkYtSzh... .
Please use a very broad definition of 'coolness' because experience learns that chapters vastly underestimate that. Wikimeets can be counted as cool! I hope you can fill it out in the next three days.
Looking forward to your submission,
Lodewijk
Hi guys, Any projects we should include here? Suggestions? This might be an opportunity for Wikimedia Kenya to gain publicity and share best practices. --Abbas.

I think Steve already filled this up, perhaps he could share with us the details he sent.

Speaking of best practices ,i think its good practice for Steve to have shared with the group before submitting the list as the official WMKE List of projects....just to ensure inclusion and transparency.....

Hello folks!
Kizungu ilikuja na meli:)
My understanding of the mail was to fill the Google Doc according to the projects that a member was privy to. It goes without saying, (though you said) our community runs on the virtue of openness and the following is what I filled as my taking as our cool projects.
*Our Current venture into GLAM with Kenya Railways and our experience when hunting for the monuments list. *Our planned Geo Drops of which am in advanced with the JKUAT SCOSIT Club members. ............ ......
Plus so much more that the chapter members should now enumerate now that we are beating the deadline....
Am I open now?

While at it,
It goes without saying, (though you said) our community runs on the virtue of openness and the following is what I filled as my taking as our cool projects.
Could we please loop in the members on the current projects we are involved on? I am sure very many are hearing of some of this of for the very 1st time like Geo Dops, Railways , GLAM and if possible updates on the doings as they happen just that all of us are on the same page??
My Cool Projects are:
- Heathers Meetup at iHub where we explained the reason why we need/dont need sw:wp or why it does not work (My favorite meetup and fruitful discusion) - The Photo walk that culminated on the current discussions with the Railway Museum - And of course the current efforts to have a localized Offline Wikipedia
Hello!
Dead drops were discussed during our last community meetup on 26th May at the Mlab and there was even an awesome video that I showed to the members present and everyone was convinced it was a good project that we could undertake.
The same applies to GLAM plus other projects on the etherpad here >> http://etherpad.wikimedia.org/ wmke-meeting-26-05-2012
The minutes are yet to be posted on our website by Anne but every detail was documented on the pad including the snack munching session;)
I thought the essence of using the etherpad was for members to follow the meeting proceedings remotely plus as a form of temporary documentation. We have to save the trees and let them live as we share in the yet to be sum of all human knowledge!
cheers,

Hey Folks!
Since the deadline to submit cool projects is imminent. Are we still expecting the various versions of cool projects from the list members or we can just go ahead and post the ones openly mentioned in this thread?
