chapter req: Nairobi, Kenya

[profnandaa]

Have a chapter repository created within the Papers We Love organization: Open an issue on this repo requesting a chapter repo and telling us about yourself, who is helping you out, where we can find you online (twitter, etc) and where you're planning on starting the chapter. One of the Papers We Love administrators will get in touch with you and once everything is squared away will create the repo for your planned chapter. You will be added to a chapter-organizers team and given read / write access to the repo.

Requesting to start an official PWL chapter for Nairobi, focusing on tech and Computer Science papers. We already have a papers review club at our company (ADC Nairobi) with a membership of 20+ and would like to open it up as a PWL chapter.

We have not yet created online presence but once we are registered as chapter here, we will create a Meetup page for communication. Our mailing-list is [email protected].

@profnandaa, @ishuah, @evalevanto -- Nairobi is setup - https://github.com/papers-we-love/nairobi

Once you accept the invitation as collaborators, please update the Readme and Code of Conduct with your chapter's information. You are each invited as admin, which should make managing an evolving team easier.

With abuse and harassment persistently in the (North American) news, we hope every new chapter will embrace our mission to foster open and accepting communities -- so please read the Code of Conduct, and let us know if it can be improved (or made more culturally aware).

You are encouraged to join our slack -- http://papersweloveslack.herokuapp.com/

Welcome aboard.

Thanks @hakutsuru Done. Glad to join the community! 🎉

Thank you for setting this up @hakutsuru!
Could you resend my collaborator invite? I saw it a bit late, and it had expired by then. My bad.

@hakutsuru -- is there anything we need to do for the Nairobi chapter to be added on the list of chapters on the homepage of PWL?

[DarrenN]

@profnandaa please create a PR following this format papers-we-love/papers-we-love#367

[profnandaa]

@DarrenN -- looks like that one is outdated, perhaps I should follow this? papers-we-love/papers-we-love.github.io#169

[DarrenN]

That'll work for now.
