Hello all,
The event discussed below won't be happening today nor tomorrow. There's an
ongoing something-week at Poly so the letter has been sent in indicating
the date to be the 2nd of November, 2016.
Probable time given us is 12 noon. Will communicate further details as and
when I get it.
At least, an extra week to prepare, I think.

Hello all,
We have about 5 more events to go in 2016. At these events we are going to
recruit new members, give those who prefer to edit in groups the
opportunity to do so, and also teach members tips.
The group is seeking a grant to give you brunch when you attend, and also
give transportation and internet data allowance for those that opt to
volunteer.
*Please head over to the grant page to review the money being requested*
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid/Wikimedia_Ghana_User_G…>.
You can use the opportunity to join volunteers or trainers if you want.
If you don't know how to add your thoughts, let me know, I'll help you.
Regards,

Hi,
A few people in Kumasi want to represent us at Barcamp in Kumasi. They
expressed interest on the Whatsapp group however I am extending the notice
here on behalf of the mailing list admin for those that prefer mailing list
emails.
Want to represent Wikimedia Ghana at Barcamp Kumasi? Let us know so
Barcampers can hand you notes on how it is done.

SOLARKIOSK is a Bloomberg award winning German company building solar
kiosks around Africa which allows access to internet and other things. They
have about five in Ghana and some allow access to Wikipedia and it’s called
the Wikipedia Box.
Through Wikimedia France they have established contact with our group and
wants to build a relationship.
They have arranged a trip to visit one of the kiosks which includes the
Wikipedia box in Dzemini in the Volta Region. I thought it’d be nice to go
see the facility.
Is there anyone who wants to represent our group on this all important trip
to Dzemini?
SOLAR KIOSK will take you to Dzemini this Tuesday. All you need to do is
arrive at their office at 7.45 am at their office in East Legon.
Reach out if you want to go. It will even be great if you live in the Volta
Region.
Regards,

Hello
This is a short note to remind you that the African destubathon is still
ongoing and that your participation would be very appreciated.
This will be held from Saturday 15th October to Sunday 27th November.
It is a general stub elimination contest, with the intention to cover all
topics (with a special push on Women). The idea is simple: blast away as
many of our 37,000 + Africa stubs as possible! There is US$2380 (about
£1945) available in total for prizes for this, to whoever who fleshes out
the most stubs from every country of Africa, the most expansions for
geography, wildlife and women, and for producing Good Articles.
To "destub" an article all you have to do is ensure it's minimum 1.5 kB
(1500 characters) readable prose in total, which you can measure using this
tool. The existing text and text you add is expected to all be verifiable
and adequately sourced to reliable sources, with the expected
Wikipedia:Citations drawn up. Whoever "destubs" the most articles for a
given country wins a prize, and whoever wins the most "destubs" for the
most countries will be crowned the overall winner.
