Hello all, You are cordially invited to the Launch of the GLAM Ghana at the Premises of Public Records and Archives Administration Department at 10 am today

Sorry for the short notice

Going forward: Open Foundation West Africa and the Wikimedia User Group have agreed to work together and collaborate when the need be. Members can therefore attend any event they so please since both organizations have similar goals of promoting the vision of the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) in Ghana and beyond. Whereas the Usergroup does only WMF related projects in Ghana OFWA does most Open Source projects including WMF projects too. We really offer our expertise in GLAM and Education Projects and our focus is not just Ghana but we also look at starting communities in countries in the West African sub region that have no Wikimedian presence. However as the saying goes to heads are better than one, we believe our presence here will not hurt the user group but rather provide an extension where the user group may not directly be operating.

Lastly OFWA is in no competition with the Usergroup which seeks to become a chapter in Ghana whearas OFWA is looking at becoming a Thematic Organization in West Africa. We will all be working and supporting the Usergroup to make this a reality. Felix and I are still members of the user group and happy to help any member where we can.

Looking forward to future collaborations on more projects

Regards
