Hello, So far only five guys have filled in their names at the etherpad.
I will organize with BT to get the tourists permit just in case it might be requested for by a person in authority. We hope to meet at the Tom Mboya monument at 10:00am where we shall decide which route to take as per the goals here.<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_takes_Nairobi/Goals> * Basic requirements:* - Camera (not compulsory!) - Walk/Vehicle to move around/ public transport/ autos are also okay. - Data cable/ card reader for transfer of photos. - Disable on-image timestamps or other data that appears over-top of images. - Please empty the memory card. *Other activities:* - Encourage new people from outside the community to join. - This is a team event. *Do's:* - Bring plenty of water. - Do not worry about the angles/ nitty gritties of the photo or your camera skills! - Try and take a clear shot of the building. - Note down the list of places, names of buildings that you photograph. - If you learn something new about a landmark/ statue/ building, do pass on the info. It would be very useful to update in the wiki pages. - If you want to leave early, make sure you transfer your pictures to team volunteer. *Do not:* - Do not take pictures of people - To maintain a level of decency and also not to breach privacy - Remember that all photos will be used for Wikipedia, hence do not include personal photos. - Personal photos will not be considered for selection. - Do not waste time, respect the time limit. - Do not go into people's homes to photograph. All photos to be buildings/ statues/ landmarks of Nairobi. - Do not take photos where it is prohibited to do so. Just in case something is not clear, please feel free to ask. regards, Stephen.
