I hope you are all doing well.
Is everyone alright as far as community issues are concerned? Does anyone
need anything? How is editing going? Have any ideas you want to implement?
Reach out if need be. Have a great editing week.

Remember discussion below from last year?
The NSBE community at Legon has finalized the meetup schedule.
Date: 26th March, 2016.
Venue: Seminar Hall, School of Engineering, Legon
Time: 8:30 am to 10:30 am*
Want to do a presentation about Wikimedia the program? We can look at
preparing a program immediately.
Can we make Wikiversity the primary subject for discussion this time
around, instead of Wikipedia? Or maybe WikiData? Even better, promoting the
local languages? Wikimedia Commons?
I think the Wikimedia world is big and shouldn't be focused on Wikipedia
only. The attendees are likely students of Legon. Wikiversity might
interest them. WikiData, yes! Commons for sharing photo is a great option!
Writing articles on Wikipedia? Duh!
Let's kick into discussion and see which will work best.
thanks

I got an email from the Africa Centre listing the images of the Wiki Loves
Africa 2015 themed around Fashion and Adornment.
Great winning images there.[1] Each of the images rightly deserve their
respective spots, and although I'm yet to look through the entire submitted
images, I am pretty sure the judges must have had a tough time choosing the
best.
But that first image is a cracker!
Winning images:
