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
Thanks for the update. I'm glad to hear. Plus, I'll love to see you guys in a picture with your Wikipedia T-Shirts. Don't tell me you didn't take pictures

Rex, I strongly believe you're referring to us taking a group picture in the Wikipedia shirt, right?
No we didn't, sorry. (*noted for other events*)
Felix, check the community tab and yours for some images I took. BarCamps included for uploading to commons.wikimedia.org and add to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Planning_Wikimedia_Ghana/_Events_%26_Project...
