Greetings all
Last Saturday, Enock Nyamador, Raphael Berkye, Michael Mettle, Timothy
Quarshie and I attended the Talk Wikipedia in Ghana event held by Kwaku, a
Ghanaian but UK based Wikimedian.
The event was one that I would say, was necessary and beneficial to all
that were present. Basic thoughts about Wikipedia and how we can contribute
locally were also touched on. Our presence was immediately known because of
appearance in the T-shirts. Reverence was given to the PWMGH community. He
intermittently sought our views on questions been asked and gave us the
opportunity to pitch what the community here in Ghana does. We were also
given the platform to have A hands on edit, where we took the entire
audience through basic editing.
Although I personally think it was successful, I generally reason that an
event like this should be directed through the local Wikimedia community.
This helps create our identity and reliefs doubts about what we do here. We
must be the noticed as the frontiers for Wikimedia; this will enable people
to learn that we are their link to Wikimedia here in Ghana and no need to
look else where.
We were able to recruit as usual, given the opportunity to meet with the
folks at the open source community in Ghana and a few goodies grabBED for
the community's use, which means more goodies for you!!
Best
