Hi Justice and all,

The main thing involved in getting it done would be if a critical mass of Wikimedia affiliates in Africa are interested (such as Ghana and others), and if there is a date and time that works for most people.

The format would be a panel discussion of representatives from affiliates across Africa, and possibly also pre-recorded short video segments, or whatever is suitable. There will be some music at the Asia-Pacific one as well.

As to dates, I would suggest possibly Saturday Jan 16 (which is when the Asia-Pacific event is) or Sunday January 17.

Thanks,

Richard

Hi Richard,

This is something I believe we would be interested in what is the format of this conversation and what would be involved in getting it done.

Thanks.

Regards,

Justice.

Hi African Wikimedians,

We're hoping to do a series of Wikipedia Weekly livestream in shows in the week or so after Wikipedia's 20th anniversary in January, calling it "Wiki Week".

This is an example event we are planning for the Asia-Pacific region:

Are some African affiliates interested in participating in something similar? What dates in this timeframe might work for you?

We could potentially share this with a wide global audience across the continent via a CentralNotice banner for African countries, which could get a lot of viewers to introduce the affiliates to many new people..

Thanks,

Richard
