Hello everybody As you all know, the Wikimedia Chapters Meeting will be held between 25th and 27th March as part of the Wikimedia Conference. Wikimedia Kenya was asked to send two representatives to the meeting. We designed a poll for the interested and selected 13 founding members to vote for them (The polls needed people who have been active in Wikimedia Kenya for long enough to know all the activities of the Chapter). The potential representatives that we were looking for must meet the following requirements:
1. Someone who has thorough *acquaintance with the activities of Wikimedia Kenya*, ranging from the formation to the current progress and projects...to the future plans of the chapter. We don't want someone who'll embarrass us there. We should also consider someone who's good at *public speaking*, b'coz the selected representatives will present a powerpoint of what we've done before other chapters and WMF staff. 2. Considering that the period between now and 27th March is very short, I would prefer someone who already has a *travel passport* or one who is sure to acquire it by then. 3. Though not very necessary, we should consider gender sensitivity (1 female and 1 male) 4. What has the nominee done for Wikimedia Kenya? 5. Consider the availability of the chosen persons. Let's not choose someone who will later start giving apologies that they are committed somewhere and can't make it to the conference. 6. How will Wikimedia Kenya benefit by selecting <name of nominee> to represent us at the chapters meeting.
Five persons showed interest to represent Wikimedia Kenya in the meeting, namely;
1. Abbas Mahmoud 2. Alex Wafula 3. David Mugo 4. Grace Kariuki 5. Oscar Limoke
With 10 out of 13 voters, the polls are concluded and closed. I hereby release the results officially Please find attached the PDF to show the detailed results of the polls. The polls can also accessed In the following link: THE OFFICIAL POLL RESULTShttp://www.doodle.com/participation.html?pollId=bk9hx4p8y224bgw4&adminKey=cu3hstbg . It is therefore my pleasure to announce that the two representatives of Wikimedia Kenya in the 2011 Chapters' meeting are
1. Abbas Mahmoud 2. Oscar Limoke

Just to clarify, I believe that we are a free and mature people. This is why I trusted all of us to display the polls. As much as some people would develop a "So you didn't vote for me" attitude, I believe that won't be the case in Wikimedia. Everyone had a criteria to vote the way he did and I believe everyone is satisfied with the results. Show your mature democracy by developing no grudge to anybody. As I would always say, this was not a rivalry poll, but rather one that will strengthen our bond as well as show the external world, including the rest of the Wikimedia foundation how democratically mature we are and how we can handle situations as mature people. can you prove that? Thank you very much for your commitment to Wikimedia Kenya
