Re: [Wikimedia-GH] Wikimedia Ghana Usergroup at AODC conference

Hi everyone, Mention was made concerning stationing a Wikimedia Ghana booth at the AODC conference along with the Wikipedia and Wikidata sessions we’d be running. Due to time constraints and the high cost involved it appears infeasible to include the budget of the booth in our rapid grant request. There might be other ways to still keep the booth in the agenda and I’d be happy to hear of any suggestions. Regards -Masssly From: masssly(a)ymail.com Sent: Thursday, June 15, 2017 9:55 AM To: Planning Wikimedia Chapter Cc: Felix Nartey; Sandister Tei Subject: Wikimedia Ghana Usergroup at AODC conference Hi everyone, Wikimedia Ghana Usergroup has an opportunity to participate at this years Africa Open Data Conference[1] which will take place in Accra between 17 and 22 July next month. As many are aware, the mission of the Africa Open Data Collaborative closely parallels that of Wikimedia, and of Wikidata to be particular. As a result running a session about Wikidata would fit perfectly with the subject of the conference. Two slots are available, on July 17 and the weekend before (we can use one or both). I’m inclined toward using the weekend to run a session on 1. Introduction to Wikidata, 2. Editing on Wikidata (hands-on) And the 17th for either 3. Querying Wikidata via SPARQL or 4. Communal hacking for a proposed theme, likely Q3761 On top of that, we can set up a booth to educate people about Wikip[m]edia in general. I’m happy to hear what the community thinks and from anyone who would like to volunteer in anyway to put this together.

Hello all. The grant for the Post-WMCon 17 Meeting has been given. On July 1, 2017, 17 members of the user group who signed up for the meeting will meet at Impact Hub Accra: – To let community members who attended Wikimedia Conference 2017 in Berlin, share the key things learned with the members that did not get the opportunity to attend WMCON. – To train members to take the promotion of Wikimedia beyond Accra to the other 9 regions of Ghana where Wikimedia is underrepresented. We have the Kumasi team and Northern Region and they’ll eventually spread activities on behalf of the group into other regions. The following members will be hosted: *Justice Okai-Allotey (Resource Person) * Felix Nartey (Resource Person) * Shim Kporku * Georgina Sitsofe Ofori * Raphael Berchie * Wendel Laryea * Deborah Dzathor * Joy Agyepong * Shadrach Annang * Stella Sessy Agbley * Sandister Tei (Resource Person) * Randybaah Ashanti * Mensah-Bonsu Elizabeth * Noah Alorwu * Usman Ibrahim Khalilulahi Northern Region * Mohammed, Mohammed Jaward * M@sssly Those in the Ashanti and Northern Region’s travel cost will be covered.
