Hello all.
Sunday January 15, 2017 is Wikipedia day https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Day#Wikipedia_Day_2017 – the wiki's 16th birthday!
Last year we had a party. This year we can try something different. Any ideas? You can share with the community.
Please try and nominate people for the awards. See forwarded email below.

*2016 end of year awards for outstanding members*
Please check this page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Ghana_User_Group_/_2016_Events_%26_Projects and leave your nominations there. See the *End of the year award* section.
*– What do you want the user group to focus on in 2017?*
For example in 2016 the focus was on Wikipedia. You can also use this opportunity to capture your needs as a member by requesting the group to focus on things that'll meet your needs.
Share them here https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfvEthEYMzWerecMxMHAS_4cFavM3GFY8iVsxDaN_oA41j4tQ/viewform .
*– Confirm your 2017 membership*
It's usually a practice to have a public list of user group members. Since 2012, people have joined the group but we have never heard of them during events, elections etc.
Please put your name on the 2017 list here https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Ghana_User_Group#Members_.E2.80.93_2017 if you still are with us and wish to declare it. Just add your username is ok (privacy issues). In case anyone especially from the global community (or anyone) wants to contact you (in the capacity of a Wikimedia Ghana User Group member), they can easily find your user talk page via this list.
