[10:30] <ebel> hello grantbow
[10:30] <grantbow> Can you make it to the Ubuntu Hour this thursday in Nairobi?
[10:31] <grantbow> I just emailed the list today.
[10:32] <ebel> Ah, I'm afraid not, I'm quite a distance away.... in Ireland. ☺
[10:32] <ebel> Good to see there's some  activity going on.
[10:33] <ebel> I was in Kenya in 2008 teaching ubuntu/linux, so I've added #ubuntu-ke to my IRC autojoin. ☺
[10:34] <grantbow> cool! I'm in  Nairobi for another two months from the San Francisco area of California.
[10:37] <ebel> cool.
[10:37] <ebel> I was in mombasa area. never spent much time in nairobi
[10:38] <ebel> I was involved with an irish charity (camara) that sends 2nd hand computers to schools in africa. they put linux on them of course.

[10:38] <ebel> They have a hub/workshop in Kenya, but in Mombasa AFAIR
[10:39] <ebel> There might camara people/schools/local volunteers in nairobi, if you wanna get in touch
[10:39] <grantbow> interesting! In SF I work with a computer recycler http://mcrc.org that provides hardware for our Linux in schools nonprofit http://partimus.org
[10:39]  * ebel spent a month showing teaching local volunteers in mombasa how to use linux and ubuntu and stuff
[10:39] <grantbow> I would love to get in touch with folks in Kenya.
[10:40] <grantbow> Maybe I can help give them a refresher course :-)
