Hello,
I hope this email finds everyone of you well. First and foremost I would like to apologize for the delay in the scheduling of this meeting.
Without further delay, we are having the meeting on 25/09/2013, 6pm at the usual venue - kLab. (6th Floor of Telecom House).

I am also very privileged to announce that we have hit the mark of minimum number of members for a chapter, which is 40. Though it will make no sense if it's just a number without active participants. I therefore urge you to reply to this email notifying if you will make it or not or any other suggestions/ideas.

The activities for the next meeting will be
  1. Understanding the role of Hacks/Hackers in Rwanda
  2. Voting of a Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary
  3. Discussion on future projects and sharing of ideas 
  4. Future events

In case of any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me either on my personal email or on this platform. I hope to see you all there and one last thing, Hacks/Hackers isn't all about meetings and Techie/journalists events but fun and parties with good DJs. 

cheers.

President

Patrick Buchana Nsenga

Hi everyone.

Congrats on reaching your 40-member thresh-hold for triggering formal support from Hacks/Hackers Africa.

It would be really good to get the chapter up and running, because I've just run into two different sets of people at the #OKCon open data conference in Geneva this week who say that a lot of resources are about to be channeled into Rwanda to create Smart Cities and open data. If the chapter is active, it would be well placed to be a major partner for all these new programmes.

Cheers,
Justin

Hi everyone.

I've just posted a small piece on the umbrella Hacks/Hackers Africa group of Facebook and G+ about the meetup tonight. Get all your friends & colleagues to 'like' and comment on it, so that we show the donors that there is genuine interest ... which will unlock funding for projects by the Kigali chapter.


Cheers,
Justin

Guys & gals - Justin is giving you a great resource here! Not only for future funding, but also for inspiration. Be sure to LIKE the page and check out what other chapters are doing across the continent. Not to replicate what they're doing, but to get inspired about how endless the possibilities are! This may answer some questions posed last night. 

Looking forward to "soft drinking" soon ;)

Thnx Ashlee.

I hope the meeting last night went well. It would be great if there were any pix, so that we can post them on the Facebook / G+ pages. That way people not in Rwanda start getting a feel for the community there, & know who to reach out to when they're looking for partners, collaborators, or just cool folk to connect with.

Cheers,
Justin
