Regarding the venue, Jessica Colaco suggested we also try Nailab (same building as iHub)
I've already inquired regarding this and I'll let you know as soon as I receive
feedback.

Hi guys,
Now that the first wikisaturday is <72 hours away could we come up with a
venue for the 1st universal one at least, so that from there we take it to
the campus level.
BTW I have downloaded 50% and counting the zim file for Swahili Wikipedia
that BT informed us about.

Seems like there's preference for people to hold WikiSat at the
convenience of
their campuses. That's OK -- people are free to do do it
wherever they find it most convenient.
Most of the students are on recess now in my university, so for the next
couple of
months I'll be popping in and out of iHub to edit. I think Grace
might also accompany me. So for those who might not be able to go to campus
for one reason or another, do ping me and we'll liaise our own WikiSaturday.
Regards,
Abbas.

Yah, awesome idea Oscar.
In my opinion, the best way to approach this would be through campus
clubs, that
way we won't have to worry about creating awareness and dealing
with campus administration. This should be workable.
