Hi all,
Thank you Dumisani for sharing the WikiIndaba planning park, it answers most of the questions we had as the hosts. In addition to the raised by Erina above, I also have a few more
- How and when do we decide the date for the event in November? We have discussed internally and we think 6th to 8th November would good for us. - Will there be planning meetings between the host, WISCom, and Wikimedia Foundation staff, if yes how frequent will the meetings be, and when do they start?
We have created the first draft of the landing page here https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiIndaba_conference_2020 For event branding, we would like to use Acacia Tree and are working on the logo design.
Kind regards, Geoffrey

Hi all,
I'll be happy to support you during the proposal of writing the grant proposal if needed. I'll be off for most of December, but don't hesitate to contact me if you would like to meet after December to discuss key elements to the proposal. I want to also suggest having a meeting with the Nigerien user group organizing team to share experiences and learnings.
Looking forward for us working together!
Chen

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
