[Wikimedia Kenya] RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS BY KOSGEI
Hello Board, Here are the answers to the questions 1. Why do you think you suit to be in the board of WMKE? I have been a part of WMKE for over a year now and I have seen it grow. I understand the tasksand challenges that lie ahead and I believe taking a lead role as a Board member I am going to leverage on the lessons and experiences that I have learned since I joined so that we Make Wikimedia Kenya a chapter of excellence and a model to be emulated all across our continent. Having worked in the education and technology field for quite sometime I know that knowledge is a great resource that has the capacity to change generations and alter the course of history for the better. I am therefore very supportive of the Wikimedia Vision and I will bring with me my experience as an open source enthusiast and a Webfwd for the success of the chapter. 2. What is your take on the level of participation of members in WMKE projects/meetings/mailing list? Anything you think should be done differently? We Should work to improve member participation and come up with projects. I do believe the mailing list is a good form of communication but only if used in the right way so that we have only the most important and relevant information on the mailing list and not too much that it causes inconvenience. 3. As a board needs members with different skills (e.g. administrative, financial, public relations etc), please tell us which particular skill set have you worked in previously, like in another society or organisation? I bring with me plenty of experience in management having worked in the educational field as an administrative assistant at Bridge international Academies, as an Operations Associate at Mprep and also as agribusiness officer at PanAAC. I am also good in networking and building communities and I hope to use this skills in improving wikimedia Kenya 4. Which languages have you worked in so far? And what is your position on both a language policy and a language strategy for WMKE? I have worked on Swahili and English and I beleive we should really work more in improving the local languages particularly swahili. 5. How would you best deal with the issue of editor attraction and retention in our local chapter so as to ensure the growth of WMKE as a whole? I will encourage more outreach projects to educational institutions and also work towards having entry level projects for the newbies. e.g Wikpedia Takes Nairobi. 6. Now that we are an independent chapter, how do you plan to raise funds supposing the parent Wikimedia Foundation won't avail funds to run the aforementioned project? Having taken part in the annual fundraiser I learned a lot of lessons on the topic. 1. Wikimedia Fundraiser is facilitated by 2 things, Banners and Appeals. 2. The banners and appeals used in other parts of the world may not have the same impact as it does here in Kenya. We therefore need to come up with Banners and that best describe our local experience and also have a lower level of contribution that most people can afford. I am thinking of the Kenyans for Kenya intitiative where it was possible for people to donate as low as 10Shs. Therefore working with the team we will come up with the best fundraiser strategy that best fits our local chapter. 7. What kind of a project/ activity would you envision WMKE and its members undertake in order to fulfill the objectives of Wikimedia Foundation as a whole? We need to further on the exiting offline project and also work on attracting more editors in our Swahili Wikipedia. My goal is to have at least 300 edits per month on Swahili Wikipedia. The other project is partnering with chapters in other parts of the world on potential projects that can be replicated locally. e.g the Wik1 Africa project. Warmly, Isaac K. Kosgei.

[Wikimedia Kenya] ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS BY ANN NJERI
1. Why do you think you suit to be in the board of WKME? Firstly, I am willing to contribute my time and other resources as a leader as I seek to serve others with the objective of attaining the common good for society as a whole. I know there are those specialized skills and talents that I have which will contribute to build WKME, especially the Kenyan chapter. I may not know much but I’m willing to learn and I believe that’s the most important thing. I am a team player who believes that the more is yielded when we collaborate. We also need a female representative on the board and a place which I am ready to take up. 2. What is your take on the level of participation of members in the WKME projects/meetings/mailing list? Anything you think should be done differently? There is room for improvement, I speak also for myself. We need to be more dedicated to the projects that we do as well as build the spirit of solidarity in our midst by taking all successes and failures as a team and not individually. I would suggest that we attempt to have online meetings where we can conference as well as chat live. This will help counter the problem of unavailability of members for the meet-ups, increase number of meetings and kill the problem of need for geographical proximity. 3. As a board needs members with different skills (e.g. administrative, financial, public relations etc) please tell us which particular skill set you have worked in previously, like another society or organization? I have accounting skills that have been gained not only theoretically but practically. I have completed CPA (certified Public Accountant). I have also worked in Sarova Stanley in the accounts department. This will help assist greatly in maintaining accurate accounts based on accounting standards requirements. I am also a marketer having only one year left to complete my degree in Marketing and Finance. Early next month I will be working in Synovate Kenya, a research firm. The skills gained therein will be useful for us to develop strategies and invest in research that is useful in solving various challenges we have like getting and retaining editors. I also serve in the Leadership of Global Leadership interlink (GLI), an international organization that is seeking to build leaders in their formative years so that they can uphold ethical principles all through their lives. We carry out duties like organizing conferences, training of members, preparing content to be taught and discussed among other administrative tasks. 4. Which languages have you worked in so far? And what is your position on both a language policy and language strategy for WMKE? Sadly I have not worked in any languages so far but I do intend to in the future. A language strategy can be that of getting as many tribes as possible to contribute to building of Wikipedia. It may seem difficult but we have an example from the current local radio stations broadcasted in various local languages to learn from. Our pride comes from our culture which gives us our identity, something we should all be proud of. 5. How would you best deal with the issue of editor attraction and retention in our local chapter to ensure the growth of WKME as a whole? I think the best place to start is to research into the question “Why don’t people edit, and if they do, why are most people not committed?” The answers to the above questions can give us a guide to formulate strategy that will increase and retain editors. On speculation though, I think the idea of Wikimedia has not really sunk in the mind of many Kenyans let alone the issue of editing. I remember when we went to Kenyatta University and one of the senior lecturers had not heard of the concept Wikipedia. There is need to increase the sensitization that will help us attract more Kenyans. We need to come up with appeals that will reach out to the human component in all humans; that of contributing to the common good of all. There is need to communicate the benefits that people will get once they become contributors because most people look at their end of the deal “What’s in it for me?” The benefits need not be monetary because the last thing we need to do is increase our costs. 6. Now that we are an independent chapter, how do you plan to raise funds supposing the parent Wikipedia Foundation won’t avail funds to run the aforementioned project? Partnerships are crucial, which can be very fruitful in a day when firms are seeking avenues for CSR (corporate social responsibility). We just need to be bold and creative enough to come up with projects and present them to the corporate for financing. It’s not easy, but it’s possible. It doesn’t have to be about the money only since there are institutions that periodically change their computers so we can solicit for donations of computers to those schools that have few or none. The Ministry of Education can be a powerful source of finance. We can avail ourselves as the tools they will

[Wikimedia Kenya] (no subject)
1.why do you think you suit to be in the board of WMKE? Because I have and was among the founders of WMKE. I have dedicated and worked hard to see WMKE to its current form and I still have the energy and zeal to take even to greater heights. 2. What is your take on the level of participation of members in WMKE projects/meetings/mailing list? Anything you think should be done differently? I think our participation on the mailing list has been mostly vague and somewhat with empty talk. Having regular physical meetups should help us resolve issues fast and efficiently and plan for projects too. Our mailing list should just be used for Communication en Mass 3. As a board needs members with different skills (e.g. administrative, financial, public relations etc), please tell us which particular skill set have you worked in previously, like in another society or organisation? Team leadership ,Project management and selflessness skills are what I have acquired through my involvement with both the Wikimedia Kenya, The OLPC Movement in Kenya and a few other personal and voluntary engagements 4. Which languages have you worked in so far? And what is your position on both a language policy and a language strategy for WMKE? I have worked in Both Swahili and English and I have no reservations on language policy for WMKE. Both languages suffice and should remain our key focus./ 5. How would you best deal with the issue of editor attraction and retention in our local chapter so as to ensure the growth of WMKE as a whole? Through Having a number of Wikimedia Outreaches and Wiki Academies to showcase and teach people and members of the WMKE about editing and the need to. The need to have our local content from our own perspective is very vital. 6. Now that we are an independent chapter, how do you plan to raise funds supposing the parent Wikimedia Foundation won't avail funds to run the aforementioned project? Through Local Partnerships and campaigns on the social media to sensitize people on WMKE and the need to preserve our Knowledge. Accepting donations via local means eg Mpesa as low as 100 will allow us to reach to the large audience and help us raise funds. 7. What kind of a project/ activity would you envision WMKE and its members undertake in order to fulfill the objectives of Wikimedia Foundation as a whole? Outreach and Wiki Academys would help us Attract and Retain editors and at the asem time contribute knowledge to Wikimedia Projects...which are the key Wikimedia Foundation Key Goals and Objectives. -- Regards, Limoke Oscar, point me to the destiny,and I will curve my own path to it ___ WikimediaKE mailing list WikimediaKE@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediake

Re: [Wikimedia Kenya] RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS BY KOSGEI
Dear electoral team, By establishing the wiki page, I didn't mean that everyone had to use this now. Some may find it easier to send email (and for some, it may even be the only option). So please, as part of your responsibilities as electoral committee, can you copy and paste answers posted on the list to the correct sub-page of our WMKE wiki? Thanks!

[Wikimedia Kenya] Election Processes
Hi all, So we (me and Steve) just got back to the hostel back in Berlin (12:45 am). We have been on tour and a welcome party the whole day and haven't had a chance to see/reply to the questions as per the deadline (6:00 pm) so I'm requesting an extension of this time. To the electrol team, kindly come up with a schedule (including timelines and milestones) of the whole election process and document them here: http://wikimedia.or.ke/Board_Elections so that we can plan ahead of time for such instances. I'd also request to wikify these stuff instead of doing it over emails. I've moved all the Qs I received here and will answer them on the same page: http://wikimedia.or.ke/Board_Elections/Q2Wafula If you make anymore changes and have new documentation, do wikify them instead of doing it over email, it makes follow-ups difficult. Well, these are just my recommendations/thoughts for your consideration. cheers, Alex ___ WikimediaKE mailing list WikimediaKE@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediake
Re: [Wikimedia Kenya] RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS BY KOSGEI
OK, Since it seems that Isaac's preferential mode of answering the questions is via this list, I will engage him here. Isaac, I am not sure whether you understood my question. What I basically asked is for you to tell me of an incident, if any, where you led a group that had divergent to achieve consensus. In the scenario that you just gave, 1) you withdrew your nomination and 2) I fail to see the part where you were able to convince us to let Stephen go to Tanzania, since there weren't any members who (openly) opposed to Stephen's going. [You can check the archives to see the role that you played when we were discussing the Tanzania training: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimediake/2011-November/thread.html] Best,Abbas.

Re: [Wikimedia Kenya] Election Processes
Hi Alex and Steve SnipSo we (me and Steve) just got back to the hostel back in Berlin (12:45 am). We have been on tour and a welcome party the whole day and haven't had a chance to see/reply to the questions as per the deadline (6:00 pm) so I'm requesting an extension of this time. First I would like to congratulate you guys for representing us in Berlin. I know it is quite demanding for you guys but I on the other hand it shows the level of your dedication to this Chapter. Since we are also running out of time we'll expect your responses to be up by Today Friday,30th March at 1600Hrs latest (Kenyan time since I understand you are only an hour behind). Any difficulty should be communicated ASAP. SnipTo the electrol team, kindly come up with a schedule (including timelines and milestones) of the whole election process and document them here: http://wikimedia.or.ke/Board_Elections so that we can plan ahead of time for such instances. I think it is a bit too late for this as the elections are still scheduled for tomorrow as it was planned initially. However, sufficient efforts have been made to notify you guys and everyone on the next activity to be undertaken (QA session). I'd also request to wikify these stuff instead of doing it over emails. I've moved all the Qs I received here and will answer them on the same page: http://wikimedia.or.ke/Board_Elections/Q2Wafula This has already been catered for and you can post your responses on this page first: http://wikimedia.or.ke/Board_Elections/Q%26A then later respond to the individual questions on your individual pages. *For Alex:* http://wikimedia.or.ke/Board_Elections/Q2Wafula *For Steve*: http://wikimedia.or.ke/Board_Elections/Q2Wanjau If you make anymore changes and have new documentation, do wikify them instead of doing it over email, it makes follow-ups difficult.
