Hi Abbas,

I agree with you the presentation about the strategy should be
improved. And I think we should help OKF to do that. We can give
examples of other communities we worked with, mainly those aligned
with OKF vision. Kenya has a lot to teach, for instance, from its
experience with the Wikimedia local group.

I'll try to help later. I need to think.
