Hi all, this person was supposed to attend Wikimania '18 but was prevented by a family emergency. Besides the activities he links to, I also know his name in the context of the worldwide community telecoms network movement. I'm forwarding this as a suggested agenda item for the next meeting. Best, M. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: *Eddie Avila* <ed...@globalvoices.org> Date: Friday, April 26, 2019 Subject: African linguistic diversity online campaign To: Michael Graaf <graaf.mich...@gmail.com> Hi Michael - how are you? I wanted to share a new social media campaign we’re co-organizing: https://rising.globalvoices.org/blog/2019/03/18/celebrating- african-linguistic-diversity-online-through-a-rotating-twitter-account/ Here is the campaign page: https://rising.globalvoices.org/campaigns/twitter-digiafricanlang-2019/ I was reaching out to you for suggestions on African language activists/advocates that might want to host for a week. We’re especially looking for participants from Southern Africa if you have some thoughts. We already have had some great participation from Ursula from Ghana who shared her work on Wikipedia in Twi (https://rising.globalvoices.o rg/blog/2019/04/09/meet-ursula-zage-the-host-of-the-digiafri canlang-twitter-account-for-april-10-16/). But it’s not exclusively Wikipedia, but promoting the use of African language on any digital platforms through projects or initiatives. I’d appreciate any suggestions or leads.
