Hello,

details and confirmation.

The date has not been confirmed, and we cannot confirm that we will do an event of this
kind, because there has not been sufficient interest yet.
If 3 or 4 African affiliates would be interested, then I think it might be very possible
to figure something out, and use the same model as the Asia-Pacific regional livestream.
I would suggest perhaps we could talk about if this is practical toward the end of the
second SWAN call on Sunday:

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.

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".
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_20_Countdown#Wiki_Week,_Jan_2021
This is an example event we are planning for the Asia-Pacific region:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_20_Countdown/Asia-Pacific
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(User:Pharos)_______________________________________________
