Colleagues, get integrated. This is just beginning. 

Also pay some attention to Indaba - the Wikimania for African issues specifically. It's in SA next year.

Dear Open Advocates

Your email address has been added to a list of people who are advocates of the Open Movement in Africa (or are involved in Africa-related projects for Wikipedia/Wikimedia). If you want to have your name on this list and be informed of exciting Open Movement opportunities and events, then please can you add the details you want us to know. 

The last thing we want to do is spam you. If you have nothing to do with Africa or do not want to be involved, please delete your details.

If you know of anyone who would like to be involved in this pan-African initiative and who are not yet on the list, please send this link to them:  
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aq9jD6_yC4M1dExxYzFLZE9LYXhOSU1FTkR3SXdPV2c&usp=sharing

There are many exciting opportunities coming up in the second half of 2013, and we would like to have you all onboard. If you want to look at what is happening, or is planned in the Wikisphere in Africa – then have a look at the Africa Portal on meta: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Africa_Portal/Projects_and_Programs

Also of interest is the proposed Wiki Indaba in Johannesburg in February 2014. Sign up and let us know your ideas, thoughts and expectations for the conference on http://wikiindaba.net/wiki/Wiki_Indaba:Community_portal

There are also exciting things happening in Creative Commons and OER, which we can tell you about.

Warmest
