[Wikimediauk-l] Lessons fromGhana

2014-04-04 Thread fabian 
Hi all,

Yes thanks to Rupert for posting this.

And thanks to Fae for stepping in and involving the WMGH folks.

And of course thanks to the WMGH folks for mobilising so effectively
despite all the confusion.

I think Felix hit the nail on the head when he said:

"Although I personally think it was successful, I generally reason that an
event like this should be directed through the local Wikimedia community.
This helps create our identity and reliefs doubts about what we do here.
We must be the noticed as the frontiers for Wikimedia; this will enable
people to learn that we are their link to Wikimedia here in Ghana and no
need to look else where."

If WMUK has learnt that lesson, then that will be a big step forward.

all the best

Fabian

Good to hear the event worked well and glad to hear from Jon that we're
exploring future collaboration with the Ghanaian Wikimedia community.

Greetings all

Last Saturday, Enock Nyamador, Raphael Berkye, Michael Mettle, Timothy
Quarshie and I attended the Talk Wikipedia in Ghana event held by Kwaku, a
Ghanaian but UK based Wikimedian.

The event was one that I would say, was necessary and beneficial to all
that were present. Basic thoughts about Wikipedia and how we can contribute
locally were also touched on. Our presence was immediately known because of
appearance in the T-shirts. Reverence was given to the PWMGH community. He
intermittently sought our views on questions been asked and gave us the
opportunity to pitch what the community here in Ghana does. We were also
given the platform to have A hands on edit, where we took the entire
audience through basic editing.

Although I personally think it was successful, I generally reason that an
event like this should be directed through the local Wikimedia community.
This helps create our identity and reliefs doubts about what we do here. We
must be the noticed as the frontiers for Wikimedia; this will enable people
to learn that we are their link to Wikimedia here in Ghana and no need to
look else where.

We were able to recruit as usual, given the opportunity to meet with the
folks at the open source community in Ghana and a few goodies grabBED for
the community’s use, which means more goodies for you!!
