Organisers of the African Wikimedia Developers Project would like to change the official name and subscription email list of the "African Wikimedia Developers Project" to "African Wikimedia Technical Community."


We are in the process of re-branding the  whole project into a technical community that will be focusing on grooming and managing technical contributors in Africa. So far, we have been able to grow a technical community which involves not only developers but other technical contributors such as Designers, translators for localization, Documentation writers, Data Science Professionals (Data Scientists,Data Analysts, Machine Learning Engineers, AI professionals and NLP Specialists) and QA engineers from Automated Testers to Manual Testers.


With these professionals in this community and some tech enthusiasts who are willing to learn and contribute to the movement technically, we are looking forward to broadening this project into a technical community to focus on all technical areas aside the developers contributions to the Wikimedia movement as a whole. 


We would like to change the name of the project from "African Wikimedia Developers Project" to "African Wikimedia Technical Community", to ensure that the aforementioned contributors can also be a part of the project.  We are looking forward to updating the whole mediawiki page and meta page for the current AWMD project with the new name.
