Good day Erina, Geoffrey, and Douglas
Congratulations again on a successful bid to host the 5th edition of Wiki
Indaba in 2020.
I would like to share a planning guide that was developed by WISCom members
to assist answer important questions as you prepare to host this event. The
guide includes recommended milestones and a timeline to follow. As this
document gets updated, I will be sure to send you the latest pack promptly.
First things first, it would really be useful to start a page on meta for
this event, where you can add basic information about host city and Local
organizing team bios.
Chen Almong is the events grant officer to get in contact with as you are
getting ready to send your grant application.
Woubzena and I continue to support WISCom and are at your disposal at any
point should you need our assistance.
Looking forward to hearing from you and to a successful event in Uganda!
Best regards
PS: Douglas what is your personal email?

You know by now that I am leaving the Wikimedia Foundation as Chief of
Community Engagement and that I was not able to join you all at WikiIndaba
in Abuja for that reason. I am so sorry I could not be there, but want to
thank you all so much for the collaboration we shared to advance the cause
of free and open knowledge across Africa. If you’d like to stay in touch
with me, I’d welcome it! valeriedcosta(a)gmail.com.
My best to you all for the future!
Val
