Hello everyone,
We hope you all are doing well and had a wonderful cross-over from the year
2017 to the year 2018. We'll use this opportunity to wish you all a happy
new year 2018 and hope that in this year, we all are going to collaborate
in an even more stronger way to make Africa and the world a better place
through programming and software development on MediaWiki and all other
interesting Wikimedia projects.
We'll also thank those who invested their efforts to volunteer for working
on bugs / tickets to solves issues related to projects in the Wikimedia
movement in various perspectives. Keep up the good work and hoping you keep
your volunteer hat on and be the change we need :) and for those who have
not yet engaged or engaged fully in the AWMD project's activities, we urge
you to make out time on a daily or weekly basis to contribute to projects
that touch/impact the life of people around the world in a positive way!
Not to take much of your time, we'll want to share again opportunities
about 2 upcoming conferences; Wiki Indaba 2018[1] and Wikimania 2018[2]
whose scholarships applications are already open, do apply and don't miss
it!
To round things up, do your best to put in even if it's 30mins - 1hour a
day as an African Wikimedia Developer on this project and let's together
work on making our skills better and create opportunities for ourselves as
the year 2018 goes on, you'll be surprised at the output of your work and
you won't regret doing it.
Thank you all for your time and have a splendid year 2018 and happy
hacking!!!
