Dear African Wikimedians,

I hope this email finds you well.

As you will remember that during our Wiki-Indaba https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Indaba conference in Tunisia it was agreed that we need to put together a steering committee that will be responsible for capacity building which includes amongst other things providing support to countries who wish to host Wiki-Indaba conference in the future, support Wikimedians within the African continent who wants to run Wikimedia projects but don't know where to start or how to go about doing that, as well as finding out about the progress of projects run by Wikimedians within the African continent and diaspora and letting everyone know through social media etc.

Currently the Wiki-Indaba Steering Committee (WISCom) https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Indaba#Wiki_Indaba_Steering_Committee_(WISCom) is composed of representatives from countries who were previously host to the conference, this includes Myself, Bobby Shabangu and Felix Nartey. We would like to increase the steering committee, and we are calling for applications from volunteers who are interested to be part of the WISCom. The applications can be done by answering a few questions on this page here https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Indaba/Steering_Committee_(WISCom) .

The due date for applications is Friday 22 June 2018.

You are free to share this message on other social groups for more participation.

Kind regards,

Zeineb Takouti
