Hi Comrades,

Its been a month and a half already since we started this journey. So far we have had a major event in Ghana and minor MediaWiki session in Cameroon. As mentioned in our trainings we need participants from the countries that have already hosted an event to pull their weights, especially Ghana, as we are the only country that has benefitted from a full training. We are likely to request for some slots at some global gathering of Wikimedians (Wikimania, Wikimedia Hackathon, etc.), however we need to show that we deserve it and I trust that won't be an issue in the coming months.

We owe the winners of last month an applause for their awesome contributions. Read more about their work here https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T169573, and endeavour to be at the top this month, because at the end of this month we will award the winners of both months and award the volunteer with the highest cumulative points. We will be publishing the names of those on the leaderboard to the Wikimedia Blog this month as we post a blog about the project so far.

You may find the link to these resources https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Resource_Center/For_developers useful as a new developer in the Wikimedia community. Also presentations, pictures and other resources https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Africa_Wikimedia_Developers_Project from our training can be found here https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Africa_Wikimedia_Developers_Project .
