Hi Florence,
I have no idea who is coming from Ghana to Wikimania this
year (perhaps someone will, yet isn't within our community that
we know). As at now, no one confirmed from our end here
concerning attending wikimania
During Wikimania London, I remember there was not an
explicitly assigned collective space for African teams, but the
African teams were in close proximity, in fact, in a sequential
order. The teams weren't under the 'Africa' collective name,
but it was easy finding where the African teams were located.
The sequence was ZA, Ghana, and Tunisia:
How about instead of requesting for a collective space 'for
Africa', maybe during the placing and arrangement of African
teams in the community village structure, African teams are
placed in sequence? ex. say, Ghana - Table 1, Tunisia - Table
2, ZA - Table 3, then other communities follow, so with a stop
at Table - 1, it easier spotting subsequent African countries,
just like it was arranged for London?

Hello everyone
Isla and I were talking about Wikimania this morning and an
idea showed up :)
It seems there will be a "community village" this year in
Mexico : https://wikimania2015.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Village
Last year, it was very successful in London and many
chapters had their own space.
In most cases, there were 2-4 people sitting at each space
to answer any question. Posters, leaflets, books and more
generally marketing material. And food.
Whilst it would be probably challenging to imagine a space
for each user-group/chapter in Africa, we could maybe share
a collective space to represent Africa and what is being
done here. What do you think ?
Through Kumusha and Wiki Loves Africa, we have a bunch of
objects we can show. I remember South Africa had made some
leaflets about some of their projects. I know Ivory Coast
has made some as well. What do you have to share that we
could put on a collective table ?
Also, amongst the recognized user groups, did some already
request a space ? (Tunisia ?)
And who is coming to Wikimania ?
