Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Recognition of Algeria Wikimedians User Group
To: wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org
Dear all,
We are pleased to announce the recognition [1] of the third Wikimedia
User Group from the Arab World and the fifth from Africa: Algeria
Wikimedians User Group.
Our Wikimedian brothers and sisters in Algeria have for a long time
wanted to associate and multiply their contributions tigether, since as
early as 2009, when started attempts to create projects in different
languages spoken in Algeria in the Incubator, an education program in an
Algerian university, and participating in Wiki Loves Monuments in 2013
Algeria, which was quite a success and created a lot of awareness at a
local level about the need of making more and more knowledge open in
Algeria.
So, now we have them joining the family of affiliates.Please, let's give
them a warm welcome!
Soyez les bienvenus, amis algériens!
Carlos

In the wake of #WikiLovesAfrica I challenge someone to put a piece like
this together and focus it on Ghana. I'll personally edit and add to it for
the world to see/read.
Pictures too will be appreciated
