Just some few days more to the start of the wiki loves monuments this year,
but I wish to ask if there's any plans to host that in Ghana this year?
If not monuments, can it be something else?
It can't be about food because wiki loves Africa has that as theme for this
year.

Hi,

techniques. The target audience is the broad Wikimedia community including
developers, WMF and chapter employees, and volunteers with high risk
accounts.
Example topics:
Phishing
Coding best practices
Wifi security
Securing data stored on cell phones
Check fraud
Preventing insider theft of funds in Wikimedia organizations
If you are interested in contributing to the newsletter please email me off
list.
Thanks,
Pine

Hi everyone,
This year's Wikimania has ended, and it was worth being a part of it.
Looking forward to next year's event in Mexico.
Two of the many highlights I wish to share with all are as follows:
- *Wikimedia Ghana User Group*: I spoke with Tanvir of the AfCom. He
plans to forward our application to be a user group to the relevant
chambers responsible, and hopefully we'll hear our stand, either we
qualify, or need to work a little bit harder.
- *Wikipedia Zero in Ghana*: Sadat (Massly) and I met with Adele of WMF.
In short, we hope to realize one network in Ghana join the Wikipedia Zero
Program, and make accessing Wikipedia via their network free. More info
will flow as the details unfold.
In addition, I got lots of goodies like* Wikipedia stickers and badges*,
thanks to the Wikimedia UK and other chapters that had their booths at the
Community Village. If I am not able to exhaust all here, I'll definitely
carry the rest to Big GH. Hold on tight for yours!
I also took videos to be used in the '*African Documentary*'. Updates of
that will follow soon too.
Happy Editing
