Abbas,
Really? When do people do exams, then? If some
people wouldn't be having
exams in November, they'll probably be _preparing_ for upcoming exams -- and
from experience, students don't want to engage in other activities when they
are revising for exams.
True. I see your concerns. what do you suggest?Give us a
way out..
I already did: let's do it in January. (although I'm not one the organizers
[it's Alex and team] -- so if they feel that they can pull it off with the current
dates, then so be it)
Moreover, I still feel we have a lot to do:
-print banners, advertise-finalise the
budget-give Wikimedia France at least
a week (at best) to discuss, and approve the budget.-give another week to
get the wire transfer into a Kenyan bank account.
-buy the prizes (which are still
undecided)- have been decided....
And what are the prizes that have been decided? And if they have been decided, I presume
that WMFr has already received the budget, right?
