Hi Florence, I have no idea who is coming from Ghana to Wikimania this year (perhaps someone will, yet isn't within our community that we know). As at now, no one confirmed from our end here concerning attending wikimania
During Wikimania London, I remember there was not an explicitly assigned collective space for African teams, but the African teams were in close proximity, in fact, in a sequential order. The teams weren't under the 'Africa' collective name, but it was easy finding where the African teams were located. The sequence was ZA, Ghana, and Tunisia: https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Village#Map_of_the_Community_Village How about instead of requesting for a collective space 'for Africa', maybe during the placing and arrangement of African teams in the community village structure, African teams are placed in sequence? ex. say, Ghana - Table 1, Tunisia - Table 2, ZA - Table 3, then other communities follow, so with a stop at Table - 1, it easier spotting subsequent African countries, just like it was arranged for London? rex On Monday, June 15, 2015, Florence Devouard <anth...@anthere.org> wrote: > Eh ! > > You have been very silent on this topic my friends :) > > No feedback at all ? > > Ant > > Le 11/06/15 12:54, Florence Devouard a écrit : > >> Hello everyone >> >> Isla and I were talking about Wikimania this morning and an idea showed >> up :) >> >> It seems there will be a "community village" this year in Mexico : >> https://wikimania2015.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Village >> Last year, it was very successful in London and many chapters had their >> own space. >> In most cases, there were 2-4 people sitting at each space to answer any >> question.
