Below is an incredibly helpful list of advice from Seth Godin's blog that I think are relevant to any kind of meeting. I would love to see these ideas tried out at gatherings of Kabissa members. What do you think?

Zack Tucker Gagnes, the Seattle film student who is scheduled to film a Kabissa Meetup on Sept 23 in Kumasi, Ghana, is also visiting Morocco. We are very pleased about this development, since it means that through him we are able to catch up with organisations we worked with in Rabat and Marrakesh in 2005.

In October, I posted to the meetups group: Kickstarting the Kabissa meetups in Ibadan, Enugu, Kisumu and Kampala
Since then the meetups have been slower in kicking off than hoped, largely because of lack of capacity on this end to steward the process along. Hopefully I will have some more news to share very soon about that, but in the meantime quite a few new people are signing up for this group and are interested in meetups so I wanted to check in with everyone.
So let me say: Welcome, everyone! I'm glad you are here and would love to see some meetups starting to happen around Africa (and indeed the world...). Here are some things you can do to help make this happen:
Thanks!
Tobias

As a member of the Kabissa Meetups group, you no doubt know that we have been developing this scheme since March to encourage Kabissa members to meetup with one another on the local level. This is explained in some detail in the Meetups page in the Guide to Kabissa Membership. If you have not read that lately I'd encourage you to review it now. If you have any questions about the overall plan for organising meetups, please post a comment to that page or contact me.

Marc Osten of Summit Collaborative made an interesting contribution today, quoted below, to the NTEN Discuss email list. It's very relevant to the ideas Kabissa has been nurturing during the course of the last year for creating opportunities for face to face (F2F = face to face in Marc's jargon below) contact for people in the Kabissa community through local meetups.

Kabissa has organized a number of meetups in the past, starting with Lagos and Abuja in September 2006 when Kim was visiting to attend the Digital World Africa conference in Abuja.
For reference, here is a list of Kabissa announcements inviting people to participate in meetups or reports after meetups took place.
