Non-WIKI Related Reasons to meet in Dar es Salaam
[edit]
We need education on implementing the Wikimedia Projects as a basic foundation, if all Africans have a foundation this means the World have a foundation, it's now a time to express our visions to Wikimedia because we need it to be active in our continent, that's why we engaged on it, This is the burden of Wikimedia Foundation to expand it's project or to demoralize it self, it's also to find reasons of up and down to participants as explained here below it will support and helps this free opportunity of education access, which is in the line with the message of wiki projects. Symbolically, hosting Wikimania 2015 in Dar es Salaam,Tanzania regardless of experience or inexperienced hooping the Jury's would help to show the reality that Wikipedia stands for all in pursuing of knowledge and making a move together.
- Why this table below
With experience we have, if Dar es Salaam get this opportunity for sure Wikimedia Foundation will be anxious to meet in Africa hopefully the next bid race will be very turf. Also this will change a mentality that Wikimedia projects was set to everybody regardless color, tribalism or religions and i promise to get the different to compare with previous conferences, I actually know some community will ask about a few number of a team which the reason is a competence of Africa users that they don’t trust them self’s that things can be done, am actually wondering to other candidates Cities who is not thinking about unit because reality is reality, its now a chance for Africa whether some agree or not. \please welcome Africa
