Hi there

A group of us have been chatting about the opportunity of hosting an African Regional Wiki Conference.  The SA team were one of the teams who put together an almost-successful bid to host Wikimania 2012 (and a couple years previously too) so some of the legwork has already been done.  As you have prob seen, next week India is hosting a regional conference which sounds immensely exciting and really something that could be a great meeting-up and learning opportunity for Wikipedians.  We're thinking that it is worthwhile to investigate the interest and opportunity to host a regional meeting here in South Africa where could invite African Wikipedians and international Wikipedians too.

I'd like to start a discussion about this.  There's a page on the SA meta page which we can contribute to or either talk initially here on list?
