Hello all, we received an additional invite to Berlin after the first one
came (see forwarded email). It is geared towards a strategic session meant
for people leading affairs in the user group.
The plan was to let the two people who bothered to volunteer to go. However
the second person still doesn't meet this criteria.
Justice is one community leader who showed interested however he got the
general slot. Georgina your elected leader didn't express interest. Rexford
also said no.
A reminder came from Jaime again today that we need to send someone. I have
sent my name.
Please moving forward, let's take keen interest in standing for elections
and volunteering for the community, so when these opportunities come, we
are spoilt for choice.
In the past years, Felix has represented us twice as community manager. If
Justice and I go, next year new faces may need to go if they meet the
criteria.
Regards,

Subject: Additional Invitation to Wikimedia Conference 2017 in Berlin
To: nkansahrexford(a)gmail.com, sandistertei(a)gmail.com
Dear Wikimedia Community User Group Ghana,
In preparation for a movement strategy conversation in Berlin, we would
like to extend one more invitation for a second representative to attend
the Wikimedia Conference this March. This is in addition to the one
representative that is already invited to attend the conference on behalf
of your affiliate. This year’s conference has been built with 3 tracks;
extending one additional invite will allow your group to designate one
person for strategy and one for the customary learning tracks.
- 1 person - Strategy track
- 1 person - Capacity Building & Partnerships learning tracks
During the Strategy track, we will be discussing the future of the movement
and the best ways to fulfil our vision: that every single human being can
freely share in the sum of all knowledge. Importantly, the person you
designate for the Strategy track should have demonstrated leadership and/or
domain expertise important to your group’s efforts.
You should prioritize someone who...
- will represent your community and share back home what they learn
- has implemented one or more different types of programmatic or
engagement leadership in the last 12 months in your community
- has engaged in learning and/or evaluation practices in order to learn
and share about your group’s strategic activities and program work
- is working to develop and/or lead strategic efforts in your community
(e.g., communications, volunteer engagement, skills development for
community engagement, community health, program design and evaluation).
If you have already registered a representative to join the main conference
in Berlin and that person is your preferred representative for the Strategy
track, no problem. You may choose a second person to attend one of the
other conference tracks while your original representative attends
Strategy.
To designate your representatives to the Strategy and a non-strategy track,
reply to this message and share the names of
1. the person you wish to represent your group in the Strategy track
2. the person you wish to participate in Capacity Building &
Partnerships learning tracks
Please respond to this message to let us know about your additional
representative’s name and email address as well as the track designation
for your representatives as soon as you are able. There will be a new
registration period for the additional person to register, which will be
open January 9 through January 30, 2017. We will keep track of your
decision and share the invitation to register to the additional affiliate
representative.
Please take the time to consult with each other to determine who is best to
represent your group. Once we hear back, we will proceed with messaging to
share a registration link for your additional representative so that they
may register before the deadline.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Jaime

Good morning,
Just to clarify the 16th celebration, what I meant by 'our day' is it is
our day. Today is our day as Wikipedians.
However today is more about social media outreach. The coming
Saturday/Sunday is the party & editathon bit which Georgina is handling.
*Social media plans*
Like I mentioned earlier basically let's go online and make 'noise' with
the hashtag *#HappyBirthdayWikipedia*. The are other hashtags going around
though.
Here are some of the thoughts you can add to your posts and tweets:
– Suggest a Wikipedia page that doesn't exist yet with the hashtag
#HappyBirthdayWikipedia to request that it gets created.
– Does any piece of information need a fix? Use the hashtag to request a
fix so a Wikipedian can take it from there.
– Say thank you to Wikipedia if you want to and add the hashtag to your
message.
– Have a meme? Share and add the hashtag.
– What was your first Wikipedia edited or created?
In fact anything you'd like to say, just do with the hashtag.
This week, Tech & Social Media trends on Citi FM breakfast show may pick it
and talk about it.
*Editathon*
On Saturday there'll be an editathon. If Georgina is able to, she'll host
the party afterwards.
I hope we are reflecting on how Wikipedia is helping the world of knowledge
and also giving some of us worthy causes to dedicate our time to, plus a
wonderful community to be a part of.
Happy 16th and best wishes!
Regards,
--

As we think of the interchange, I hope we keep Ghana's First Lady in mind
too.
There's no picture of Rebecca attached to her article at the moment.
