Hi All, I hope all is well and greetings from the just ended Wiki Indaba in Accra, Ghana. Just to quickly update the community, Indaba was fun and highly informative. There were 50 people in attendance spanning three continents, including Africa, Europe and North America.
In order to share with the community what ensued, each delegate is required to organize a follow up event in their various countries and so we urge you to require of them their role to share in what they have learnt. You may watch this* space on meta for reports and upcoming sessions <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiIndaba_conference_2017/Outreach_Reports>* by some delegates. [1] You may also find pictures and presentations from the conference here at *Category:Wiki Indaba 2017 <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wiki_Indaba_2017>.* [2] It was announced that the next Indaba to be held in 2018, will be hosted by *Tunisia :-)*. Dumisane and I have volunteered to provide support to the hosting team and prepare a planning pack to reduce the hurdles in planning the next Indaba. We are hereby inviting members of the community who are interested in joining us to provide this support and an attempt to for once not make Indaba just a local organizing team event. We have started the *Wikiindaba Planning Pack <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1spRrk-u8i6cugEVCfrhF1wXm-yxauKFYxpYPjt8HCwY/edit?usp=sharing> *here, feel free to add a comment or suggestion or help us improve it.[3] Lets endeavour to share the *African Mailing List* <https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/african-wikimedians> to members of our community and lets invite as many African Wikimedians here as possible.[4] This will help to make this space a suitable place for announcing African related subjects and concerns. Warm regards, -- Felix Nartey [1] - https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiIndaba_conference_2017/Outreach_Reports [2] - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wiki_Indaba_2017 [3] - https://goo.gl/AUVqdX [4] - https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/african-wikimedians
