Hello Everyone,

Hope we are all doing well? Have we started hacking on some MediaWiki or Extensions of MediaWiki bugs already? Its the 11th of July and we are almost midway the month.

The leaderboard of this month will be published on the 31st of July in the night breaking 1st August so please do your best to solve some bugs on the Africa Wikimedia Developer work board here: https://phabricator. wikimedia.org/tag/africa-wikimedia-developers/.

If you are faced with an issue, please ask on the mailing list (here) or ping me on IRC and I will get to you ASAP. I have also noticed that our IRC channel is a bit scanty these days. Is it that we don't use IRC again? Please lets build a stronger community by communication and chatting on IRC always :).

Hoping to see patches coming up for review and please tag me to review your patch using the handle: d3r1ck01. Thank you all and have a nice day.

*Kind regards* *Alangi Derick N*
