Hi friends
Just a short note to keep you updated with the selection process.
The first selection round is now over. Our 3 jury members (Habib, Céline
and Sylvain) have done a great job and selected a short list of 1200+
pictures.
I have asked Ilya to set up the jury tool so that we can move to the
second round of selection and get our winners the earlier as possible.
Cheers
Anthere

Dear all,
Compliment of the season to you all. I can see that no one seem to be commenting on the planning for the next edition of Wikidaba. Is Wikidaba dead?

Dear Douglas
I really appreciate your comment on the subject at hand. And to Felix, you are on point on all your suggestions.
Douglas, mentioned 2 key issues in your submission:
1. Inability of the South African Chapter to host for now, due to short of resources.
2. The need for editors in Africa to be more active in their contributions by way of editing and community activities.
This is my position:
Without any prejudice to the position of South African Chapter of WMF as the shining light of Africa in WMF. However, we need to understand that Wikindaba though conceptualized by South Africans but it's a project for all the Wikipedians community in Africa. Therefore, if we believed that it's not dead yet. Therefore, another country should take up the gauntlet of hosting the new edition . In doing this, we can follow Felix suggestion by selecting one person per affiliate to form a committee that will assist in planning and selection of a host nation.
Douglas, to confirm the growth of Wikimedia in Africa. As at the last Wikindaba, . If I am not mistaken, we only have Tunisia as the only User Group and South Africa as the only Chapter . But at the moment we have additional Three User Groups which include: Nigeria, Ghana, Cotevoire.
Lastly, if collaboration among these groups is strengthen through a continental wide activities. No doubt, more editors will be discovered subsequently our contributions will soar to the sky. A very good example is wiki Loves Africa

Hello friends
I just discussed with the WMF team in charge of communication related to
Wikipedia 15 and I was wondering which events were organized/planned in
Africa to celebrate Wikipedia 15.
The central hub to discuss/organize Wikipedia 15 is here :
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_15
I see two events recorded in Africa.
One in Ghana, by Ghana user group, for a day ending with dinner :
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_15/Events/Ghana
One in Tunisia, by Tunisia user group, with a dinner celebrations
(including WLM and WLA)
I am aware of the grant request from Nigeria
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:PEG/Wikimedia_Nigeria_User_Group/Wik…
Are there other events foreseen ?
------------
Quels évènements/célébrations sont-elles prévues en Afrique pour
célébrer Wikipedia 15 le 15 janvier ?

Dear distinguish Wikimedia
It's quite painful that a discussion in the magnitude of WIKINDABA is not enjoying key popularity among us.
The maiden edition may not be perfect image of what we expect but it can be the beginning of a better thing to happen to the movement in Africa as a whole.
I will appreciate if the host country of the last edition could brief us on what we need to do in order to host a new edition of this event.

Team lead, WUGN

User:Olaniyan Shola actually spoke my mind. I thought of Wikidaba last week and I asked myself why we couldn't organize such a meetup for African Wikimedians again but I couldn't find any brilliant answer to my question. Is Wikidaba dead? Although, I never participated in the maiden edition but my colleagues returned to Nigeria with a motivating experience. This year is almost over but we can plan against next year. Let's not kill the spirit of Wikidaba!!!

I'm glad to seeing reasons why Wikidaba should continue. In my opinion, I think there is need to plan ahead of next year, perhaps decide on who will host "Wikidaba 2016". Isla Haddow-Flood and Florence Devouard, what do you think about "Wikidaba 2016?

Well this has been a question always on my mind.Wiki Indaba was a success irrespective of other matters arising I strongly believe it shouldn't be a one time thing.I understand it was made a biannual even meaning it should happen next year.Are there any such plans in place?

I thought of Wikidaba last week and I asked myself why we couldn't organize such a meetup for African Wikimedians again but I couldn't find any brilliant answer to my question. Is Wikidaba dead? Although, I never participated in the maiden edition but my colleagues returned to Nigeria with a motivating experience. This year is almost over but we can plan against next year. Let's not kill the spirit of Wikidaba!!!
