My Fellow Wikimedians,
I highly encourage you to submit a program idea, such as demonstration,
workshop for Wikimania 2023. It is expected that we will be having a higher
attendance of emerging Wikimedia communities such as in Indonesia,
Philippines and economically less developed Wikimedia communities such as
in East Timor, Papua New Guinea, Pacific islands, as well as attendance of
enthusiasts of the offline wiki in Singapore.
We also have the opportunity to connect to community members in remote
locations as this catered to onsite and remote participation.
Program submission for Wikimania 2023 ends on *28 March*.
Information about this process is shown on the links below.

If you have any questions, you can post a question on wiki
<https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2023:Help_desk> , telegram group (

Hi Offline UG!,
This community-led effort to provide capacity building led by Open
Foundation West Africa (OFWA) seems quite interesting, and something I
wanted to flag as a good initiative we can think on finding ways to engage
or support:

More info on the thread below, but wanted to share in case a few of you are
not part of wikimedia-l or the other mailing lists where this was shared.
Have a great weekend!
Jorge
