Dear Participant,

We are excited to welcome you to the African WIkimedia Developers Program coming off from the *23 - 24 June 2017* at the Impact Hub http://accra.impacthub.net/. We encourage you to attend both days of the training to maximise the opportunity to fully understand and learn about MediaWiki. Its amazing the number of people who signed up and how hard it was for us to trim the numbers due to limited space, we however wish to appeal to you that if you are unable to attend kindly send an email to jagyepong@openfoundationwestafrica.org to allow us give the slot to the next person.

We advice all participants to install the following free software/tools, [ Git, Apache web server, MySQL server / MariaDB server, PHP interpreter, phpMyAdmin, Git Review, SSH if not available, Composer (PHP package manager)] on a linux/unix based Operating System to ensure a smooth running of the training and to also avoid delays on the day. Visit our main page https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/African_Wikimedia_Developers_Project for more information about preparing towards the event.

Participants who ticked the option to be added to the mailing list will be added by close of today. If you didn't tick that option but will like to join, you can do so by following the link to African Wikimedia Developers Mailing List https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/african-wikimedia-developers .

*NB: *We strongly advise that all participants have a background in programming or coding, especially in the languages stated in the sign up form
