As many are aware, the  mission of the Africa Open Data Collaborative closely parallels that of Wikimedia, and of Wikidata to be particular. As a result running a session about Wikidata would fit perfectly with the subject of the conference.   Two slots are available, on July 17 and the weekend before (we can use one or both). I’m inclined toward using the weekend to run a session on 1. Introduction to Wikidata, 2. Editing on Wikidata (hands-on)   And the 17th for either 3. Querying Wikidata via SPARQL or 4. Communal hacking for a proposed theme, likely Q3761   On top of that, we can set up a booth to educate people about Wikip[m]edia in general.   I’m happy to hear what the community thinks and from anyone who would like to volunteer in anyway to put this together.   Regards   -Masssly   [1] http://africaopendata.net/ [2] https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3761 -- Felix Nartey Cofounder/Director Finance & Admin Open Foundation West Africa +233242844987 | +447440959477 Skype:Flixtey
