Then maybe if we have breakout sessions on Wikimedia
and Wikipedia in
Northern Ghana, more people would be wise and would get in touch? :-)

In fact, I went into the breakout session with the intention not to take
anyone's contact whatsoever. I'm tired taking them.
I just told all in attendance to search for "Wikimedia Ghana User Group"
online. If their search engine sends them to #KalyppoChallenge, well...
But I believe a word to a wise 'is in the north' so those who really wanna
get going will get in touch if they really want to.

Oh, sorry Rexford. Contacts are not normally
shared at breakout sessions.
We'd make a note to fix that. Cced Rachel.
We can contact those who were at Barcamp Koforidua to ask who was in the
session. If you send me a picture of the session, I could recognize people
and give you contacts :-)
From what transpired, it was a good session and people learnt a lot.
We can target edits to the Koforidua, Koforidua Technical University and
ANUC pages.
Thanks for the pictures.
Barcamp Accra dey. But there be Barcamp Ho, Kumasi and Sunyani before
that.
#Morevim!
