Hello folks
Following up on Wiki Loves Africa :)
(answers to private emails will follow)
Seeing that many of you do not seem super confortable using mailing list
and how many seem confortable using Facebook, I suggest we create a
Facebook group for WLAf, in a very similar way that the wikiindaba group
(closed group)
What do you think ?

Dear all
We would like to inform you that the Wiki Loves Africa 2017 grant
request has been accepted !
Yeah !
La demande de subvention pour WLAf 2017 a été acceptée
THE THEME
/*People at Work*/
*Competition scope:*The theme calls for photographs, videos and
audio files that document all manner of occupations undertake
across the continent - formal and informal, contemporary and
ancient, business-oriented and creative. There will be a special
prize that will be concentrated on visually capturing women
working, and another that illustrates rare, fading or threatened
traditional craft, style or way of working.
LE THEME
Les gens au travail (traduction à préciser)
Il y aura un prix spécial pour l'illustration des femmes au
travail. Et un spécial pour les métiers menacés d'extinction.
WHEN
The contest will run October-November
There will be a dedicated drive after the event to better use and
integrate pictures
QUAND
Le concours se déroulera en Octobre et Novembre
Il y aura aussi un effort particulier après le concours pour mieux
intégrer et réutiliser les photos
*************
A few things to note though...
1. This year, per request from WMF, only 13 countries will be
allowed to request funding to participate with local events. That
list covers any country which has already participated to WLAf at
least once.
Moreover, amongst those 13 countries, some will be covered by the
WLAf Project Grant in the same way than in 2014-2015-2016, whilst
some will have to request a Rapid Grant to WMF.
This is the list of countries who should ask a Rapid Grant if they
want to join in
**
1. *
Egypt
2.
Tunisia
3.
Cameroon
4.
Nigeria
5.
Ghana
6.
Côte d’Ivoire
7.
Algeria
8.
South Africa
*
**
**O*f course, we would support those asking for the rapid grant as
needed. The main benefit is... that local budget can potentially
increase given that max budget for a Rapid Grant is 2000 dollars.
***
***We will reach out to all groups individually anyway to discuss
this.
***
***
***
This is the list of countries who should follow the same process
than last year if they want to join in
*
**
1. *
Ethiopia
2.
Uganda
3.
Tanzania
4.
Malawi
5.
Zimbabwe

*2. The contest is moving towards incorporating more volunteer
positions.
_So if you want to get involved in organiz__ing the contest at the
global level, please __get in touch with us asap so that we can
integrate you from the start_*_in the who__*le organization and
planning. *_*Project will start with evaluation planning, in
consultation with and supported by WMF, to improve documentation
and reporting of impact. *We will probably launch an easy going
group list to better coordinate this and involve people. So
please, if you want to be part of it... jump in (********<evil
look>****we will contact some of you privately anyway. The african
developer group is on target for example<******/evil look>****

I hope this is clear. Contact me if not.
