Thank you for sharing the meeting notes Bobby, and thanks to everyone who attended the meeting. Unfortunately, I saw the updated meeting invite very late after the meeting had ended, but will make sure not to miss the next one.

One comment/question, considering that Wiki Indaba 2021 was online, can we still give a chance to the other countries in the East Africa region to be able to bid to host the conference? Other countries other than Uganda.

Kind regards, Geoffrey

Thank you for sharing the meeting notes Bobby, and thanks to everyone who attended the meeting. Unfortunately, I saw the updated meeting invite very late after the meeting had ended, but will make sure not to miss the next one.

One comment/question, considering that Wiki Indaba 2021 was online, can we still give a chance to the other countries in the East Africa region to be able to bid to host the conference? Other countries other than Uganda.

Kind regards, Geoffrey

Dear All,

I just realised after receiving a response from Aboubacar Keita from Guinea that we need to think about translating our communications in future.

I don't trust Google Translate 100%. Can our French Speaking Colleagues kindly Translate for me the below:

Bonjour Bobby

Merci de nous avoir contacté en tant qu'affilié africain, nous nous réservons de poser comme candidats pour l'instant en attendant de participer à une rencontre avant d'être hôte.

Je souhaite une meilleure santé à la communauté

Hi Bobby,

Aboubacar's answer

*Hi GeorgeThank you for sharing, as I was saying to Bobby yesterday, we're reserving posing as candidates for the time being until we can attend a meeting before we host.Wishing you all the best of health.*

So he means that for the time being, their community cannot yet submit an application, given that no member has yet taken part in a WikiIndaba meeting. In short, they don't have any experience of how it works in WikiIndaba yet.

Thank You

Dear All,

I just realised after receiving a response from Aboubacar Keita from Guinea that we need to think about translating our communications in future.

I don't trust Google Translate 100%. Can our French Speaking Colleagues kindly Translate for me the below:

Bonjour Bobby

Merci de nous avoir contacté en tant qu'affilié africain, nous nous réservons de poser comme candidats pour l'instant en attendant de participer à une rencontre avant d'être hôte.

Je souhaite une meilleure santé à la communauté
