Hello,
Just a short word to mention that during the Unesco meeting, I met with Brenda M Gourley, Vice-Chancellor of The Open University (www.open.ac.uk). Brenda comes from South Africa. She indicated much interest in helping us (and in particular Wikimedia UK), in particular in hosting an event if one was organized in UK. I do not know if this can lead somewhere, but if it rings a bell, just ask me for her contact data.
