Hello all,
You are cordially invited to the Launch of the GLAM Ghana at the Premises
of Public Records and Archives Administration Department at 10 am today
Sorry for the short notice
Going forward:
Open Foundation West Africa and the Wikimedia User Group have agreed to
work together and collaborate when the need be.
Members can therefore attend any event they so please since both
organizations have similar goals of promoting the vision of the Wikimedia
Foundation (WMF) in Ghana and beyond.
Whereas the Usergroup does only WMF related projects in Ghana OFWA does
most Open Source projects including WMF projects too. We really offer our
expertise in GLAM and Education Projects and our focus is not just Ghana
but we also look at starting communities in countries in the West African
sub region that have no Wikimedian presence. However as the saying goes to
heads are better than one, we believe our presence here will not hurt the
user group but rather provide an extension where the user group may not
directly be operating.
Lastly OFWA is in no competition with the Usergroup which seeks to become
a chapter in Ghana whearas OFWA is looking at becoming a Thematic
Organization in West Africa. We will all be working and supporting the
Usergroup to make this a reality. Felix and I are still members of the user
group and happy to help any member where we can.
Looking forward to future collaborations on more projects
Regards
