Hi ,Wikimedians ! i was having some talk the director of TLS &Logistics Group ,a firm mandated with setting up computer labs in schools in the country ,by the Ministry of Education .it is instructive to note that some of the schools we visited in Kakamega and Mombasa are works of their project.After an animated briefing on the state of e-learning platform in the country ,and what wikipedia for schools is all about .We observed that because TLS &Group are setting up * platform* and Wikipedia for schools are availing *content* in the former ,there are ways we can collaborate and add value to the whole thing, his team is training 100 teachers in the larger Nyanza region ,atleast that is what he said, the manner of collaboration would be that, two of the wikipedia for schools volunteers are incorporated in their training and rollout of the same they are mandated with the task of talking matters wikipedia ,in this regards he caters for facilitation and handles logistics . i requested that i consult with fellow Wikimedians and get back to him on Monday on the same. What do you guys think ?

Hey Branton, Thats good news.I think a collaboration will help each one of us advance there agenda.However the big issue is the availability of the volunteers and the synchronising up of there schedule with the volunteers'.otherwise once these are synched up,I think it would be a great partnership. Regards,

Thanks for putting this up. Were you there in our last meetup? I met with folks from TSLG and we were to brainstorm possible methods of collaboration. Anyway, i think it appears to be a good idea. Questions: when are they going to Nyanza? What is their target niche? What do they want us to talk about: online WP or offline? Are we just going to talk, or do some installation?
