Hi Florence
Thank you very much for sharing this information with me.
I have signed up. Hopefully we could leverage this to reach out to millions
of people in Nigeria that have no access to computers and the internet. I
will appreciate training on Wiki offline so that I can train others.
Thank you.
Regards.

Hello Chiemezie
Please it would be lovely if you would sign up as members of the
Wikimedians for offline wikis UserGroup.
Specific link here :
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedians_for_offline_wikis
This is a very informal and loose thematic based UG, in relation to
offline. Its members are scattered around the globe. Its goals and missions
overlap quite a bit with yours, but with a slightly different angle (yours
focus on nomadism, whilst offline focus on... offline ;))
There is a mailing list too, as well as a recently created telegram group
Congratulations on the involvement
Florence / Anthere
On another note... reading the roles of your UserGroup, I read that one of
those is
" To represent the Wikimedia Foundation
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation> to the nomad."
I advise against using those specific words. No UserGroup or Chapter
represent the Wikimedia Foundation. I advise replacing it with something
like "present the Wikimedia world to the nomads"

Hello Chiemezie
This is a big problem across Africa ... we created WikiFundi to allow for
digital skills and wikipedia skills development for offline situations.
Take a deeper look at
https://www.wikifundi.org/ to see if this works
for your community and group.
Let me know if we can help you further.
warmest
Isla

Dear Boubakri
Thank you very much for this invitation. I serve a community where
internet access is a big challenge. People have no access. It has been a
source of concern for me as per how do I reach out to this group of people
to promote knowledge equity without the internet. Learning that there is a
way we could do this is very exciting for me. I have joined the group as a
member to see how we can work around this together.
Thank you
Best.
