[Wikimedia-GH] Map4Ebola on OpenStreetMap
by Enock Seth Nyamador 23 Jul '14

23 Jul '14

Hello Guys, I hope we all here know about the Ebola virus outbreak. Is becoming very serious, one of the top doctors just contracted <http://af.reuters.com/article/topNews/idAFKBN0FS10V20140723> the virus as well. If you have some free time to spare, why not do this? What can you and I do to help? Tracing a building alone can help the Red Cross and MSF personnel's deployed since this is the map loaded onto GPS devices they use for navigating. If you need any help on how to map first just read the beginner guides here learnosm.org and then feel free to ask myself OR HOT <http://www.hotosm.org/> mailing list any question related to this. All mapping tasks relating to Ebola can be found here <http://tasks.hotosm.org/> Best, - Enock

[Wikimedia-GH] Alex Sefah-Twerefour
by Joshua Kim 22 Jul '14

22 Jul '14

Hi all, My colleagues had the honor of seeing Alexander Sefah-Twerefour's art gallery. He hasn't had a public exhibition in Ghana for 18 years; though he is world famous. I highly recommend you all check it out - there are phenomenal, and I mean phenomenal, wood carvings. Also it's free admission. His sculptures are the ones in front of the National Theater and other government buildings, so you may be familiar with his work. Also, there's nothing on Wikipedia about him! I'm collecting some primary sources. Anybody want to help me make this article? -Josh
