Hi Lodewijk,

As far as I can tell, no one is currently working on it but I can take it up 
plus anyone else that’s interested. Last year, we were to get an extra camera 
[or was it two?] but we never received them. We only have one camera that we 
used last year.

I think this year we can aggressively market the project in colleges and 
universities [buy putting up posters] and also the social media.

Hi all,



Is anyone currently working on organizing Wiki Loves Monuments 2013 in Kenya? 
Will Kenya join the contest again? Please let me know asap if there is any way 
how we can help.

  Yes.  And once you have some projects underway, if they start to grow,

Dear colleagues in Kenya,
I would like to let you know that (after consultation with the Affiliations 
Committee) the Wikimedia Foundation Executive Director, Sue Gardner, is not 
extending the Board of Trustees' provisional recognition of your group as 
Wikimedia Kenya.  We recommend you pursue recognition as Wikimedia User Group 
instead. 




The recognition was conditional upon incorporation within a year, and that has 
not happened.  In addition, the provisional board disintegrated (with some 
people leaving the chapter entirely) and no replacement announced, almost no 
activity took place this past year, casting doubt on the group's sustainability 
as a chapter, and certain personal issues added much confusion and 
demoralization, which no doubt contributed to the inactivity.




In parallel, the Wikimedia movement has created new models of affiliation, not 
available at the time your group was seeking recognition, that we are confident 
would better serve your group at this stage, and would be more appropriate, 
than the traditional incorporated chapter model.  




Specifically, we encourage you to seek Wikimedia User Group recognition (via 
AffCom -- e-mail aff...@lists.wikimedia.org) right now, which will give you 
almost all the benefits of chapter recognition, with almost none of the 
bureaucracy: trademark permission will be available to you, and as you know, 
grants are always available, even to unincorporated groups (and we will take 
steps to improve group oversight and governance to minimize risk).  Everything 
I know about this group and about AffCom suggests this should be a smooth 
process.




Note that this does mean that the name Wikimedia Kenya should no longer be 
used by you or others to refer to your group, and specifically, that you are 
not to incorporate under that name.  (It is best if incorporation under any 
name is postponed until there's a better idea of the group's interest, 
capacity, and plans.  Creating a formal entity prematurely could saddle you 
with inconvenient responsibilities without any of the benefits.)




Wikimedians in Kenya, Friends of Wikipedia in Kenya, and any number of 
other names you may feel comfortable with, are good possibilities for the name 
of your group, and can be recognized by the WMF if you do choose to pursue User 
Group recognition.





We'd like to stress this is neither a punishment nor a demotion of your group; 
it is actually an adjustment of what we call the group to match reality and to 
adhere to the original terms of the provisional recognition.  We recognize your 
dedicated and valuable contributions in the past, and look forward to renewed 
energy and accomplishments on this new path, as a user group, and will be happy 
to support you in this in every way we can.

I think we really had a good thing going with  the monthly meetups. I'd suggest 
we resume with this and have every meetup geared towards aching a particular 
task eg: edits on specific topics, focus on commons etc


We can have it ran by someone different every month, to make it participatory 
and exciting.

Building from that, we haven't met this year so I'm usggesting a meetup for the 
15th of Feb. Any takers...?

Re: [Wikimedia Kenya] Offline wikipedia - Kenyan syllabus

2013-02-07 Thread dennis munene

Asaf,
hi, on the offline syllabus, we were to start a fresh using a list of topics 
for the various subjects that we were to get from the Kenya Institute of 
Education. It is on sale though for Ksh. 1,900 [roughly $22]. I personally have 
the time to work on the project. It could also be great to have an edit-a-thon. 
Plus we would get it done much faster that way.

Subject: Re: [Wikimedia Kenya] Response to Bence

Hi, everyone.
To my mind, the way forward is to find a project at least some of you are 
excited about, rather than make progress on the formalities.  That project can 
be anything at all -- organizing a regular meetup or edit-a-thon, a photowalk, 
finishing the school curriculum update project so we can produce a new offline 
Wikipedia file relevant for Kenya, etc.



It seems to me that there is no substitute for a core of _active editors_, on 
either English[1] or Swahili Wikipedia[1]. That core would be the basis for 
most of the other activities.  For example, it's difficult to have effective 
mass outreach if we can't connect newbies to _local_ editors with at least some 
experience and interest in tutoring and supporting them on their first steps, 
especially on the English Wikipedia which has very high standards that are 
challenging and confusing to newbies.



So of the activities above, I would recommend thinking about ways to get _you_, 
the core volunteers, more motivated about, or more _comfortable_ with, actual 
editing.  A first step would be to identify what is the main obstacle -- 
know-how, interesting topics to contribute on, access to source material, etc., 
and then we can all think about how to remove that obstacle.


Another fun thing to try, if you can have meetups somewhere with reasonable 
bandwidth (on campus? at the iHub?), you can schedule a Skype/Hangout with 
different communities/chapters around to world to exchange experience and learn 
about exciting ideas from other groups.  In my experience, it's a fun and 
interesting way to get [re-]motivated, and I'm sure a number of our 
international colleagues would be happy to be the teleconferenced guests at 
those meetings.


Just my two cents. :)
   Asaf
[1] English Wikipedia has about 35 active editors (5 edits a month or more) in 
Kenya.  That's a good number to work with, but it seems to me (do correct me if 
I'm wrong) that most of those regular editors are outside this mailing list.  
If we could actually be reasonable certain we have some of those active editors 
interested in supporting additional editor recruitment, we'd be in good shape.  
Source: http://global-dev.wmflabs.org/graphs/enwp_ke_active  (very slow load, 
sorry)

[2] Swahil Wikipedia has about 3-4 active editors (5 edits a month or more) in 
Kenya, and about the same number in Tanzania.  Source: 
http://global-dev.wmflabs.org/graphs/swwp_active (again, very slow)

[Wikimedia Kenya] Offline wikipedia

2012-09-11 Thread dennis munene

Hi,
i hope this finds you all well, last week i got a call from Dr Martin Njoroge, 
[our contact person at Kenyatta University] requesting for the offline 
wikipedia that he intended to give to his students taking a masters degree most 
of who are teachers at high schools. I was able to make 50 copies on dvd with 
both the kiwix application and the offline wikipedia.
On the day i was to give the students an illustration of how to install and use 
the kiwix application, something came up and i wasn't able to do it then. 
Sadly, they were going back home that evening. I was planning to come up with a 
text document illustrating how to install and use the kiwix app but i needed to 
first know if there's any available.. [preferably a video.. i've tried 
searching for on on youtube but the closest i got was this

yours,
dennis munene.
