  1. Hackathon on Dec 1st/2nd

We are planning to participate in the global Hack of Kindness. (http://www.rhok.org/) Currently we're involved in the events in San Francisco and in Berlin and are reaching out to the events in Kampala and Nairobi. Our goal is to connect and to work together in teams that are spread across continents.

http://www.africahacktrip.org/rhok will be the central page for this hackathon events.

  1. First contact with Nairobi

@AnyaSchmidt please fill in

  1. Team meeting on Monday

Our 2nd Google Hangout is scheduled for this Monday, Nov 11 at 7pm berlin time (every timezone)

This meeting will be mainly about

  1. What needs to be organized per location that we visit
  2. the Hackathon on Dec 1st / 2nd

Our own location hosts are Anya, Christoph and Martin. We are still looking for one for Rwanda. Our head for the hackathon is Michael. So you guys should definitely be on the meeting. The rest is warmly invited to brainstorm, share thoughts and give feedback.

Find the agenda here: https://www.minutes.io/shared/wx8r9wt

Let me know if there is anything else you'd like to put on it

  1. Vacant team roles

  1. Rwanda Location host

    You'll team up with Anya (Kenya), Martin (Uganda) and Christopher (Tanzania) to make sure everything gets organized in the Rwanda Chapter as it does in the other locations. You won't need to do all the work, we've a great team willing to help, it's just your responsibility that things are getting done.

  2. PR / Blog / Twitter

    As our mission is to connect our own communities with the emerging African ones, it would be great to use Twitter / Blog / You name it to highlight interesting stories, projects, and individuals. But also within the team it would be great to have a curated "MUST READ" - list to keep us excited. Again, I see this as a team effort, but somebody has to kick asses ;-)

  3. Misc
