[Wikimedia-GH] Fwd: [Wikimania-l] News regarding Wikimania 2018

[Nkansah Rexford]

Congrats to the Wikimedia South Africa team.

Cape Town, it is!

All,

On behalf of the Wikimania Steering Committee and the Wikimedia Foundation,
 I am pleased to announce that we have decided to explore having Wikimania
 2018 located in Cape Town, South Africa. It would be hosted by a team
 led Douglas Scott with
support of the Wikimedia ZA chapter and the WMF. The proposal will be
further vetted by the WMF staff in the coming months, after which time we
hope to confirm the award.

This past Fall there were a total of four teams
 that expressed interest in
hosting in 2018.   We would also like to thank the people from South
Africa, Armenia, Thailand, and Perth for all their effort in putting
together materials for our consideration and their time spent discussing
the possibilities.   As a volunteer-led movement, it is very  encouraging
to have so many who want to support Wikimania.

Please join us in congratulating the South African team.   If any of you
would like to get involved or have questions/suggestions, please
contact Douglas
Scott  douglas.i.sc...@gmail.com


Sincerely,


Ellie Young

WMF Events Manager

Thats a great idea Georgina but unfortunately for me I am not on whatsapp
at the moment so can you pass it on there so we can get the response on my
behalf so we know the way forward.

Thank You.

 What can we do?

 I suggest an edit-a-thon. It can be joined remotely or physically to
 put politics and elections in Ghana on Wikipedia to good shape.

 I don't see much done by us these days on Wikipedia.

 Best,

 - Enock

[Georgina Ofori-Dwumfuo]

Good morning.

Thanks, Enoch and Justice for your suggestion(s). Since not all group
members seem to be on the mailing list, I will post your suggestions on the
Whatsapp group page and see if anyone else has any other suggestions.
Thereafter, I guess we'll come to a consensus as to the way forward.
Enjoy the rest of your day, guys.

Regards,
Georgina.

 Hello all.

 Sunday January 15, 2017 is Wikipedia day
 
 – the wiki's 16th birthday!

 Last year we had a party. This year we can try something different. Any
 ideas? You can share with the community.


 Please try and nominate people for the awards. See forwarded email
 below.

 *2016 end of year awards for outstanding members*

 Please check this page
 
 and leave your nominations there. See the *End of the year award*
 section.

 *– What do you want the user group to focus on in 2017?*

 For example in 2016 the focus was on Wikipedia. You can also use this
 opportunity to capture your needs as a member by requesting the group to
 focus on things that'll meet your needs.

 Share them here
 
 .

 *– Confirm your 2017 membership*

 It's usually a practice to have a public list of user group members.
 Since 2012, people have joined the group but we have never heard of them
 during events, elections etc.

 Please put your name on the 2017 list here
 
 if you still are with us and wish to declare it. Just add your username is
 ok (privacy issues). In case anyone especially from the global community
 (or anyone) wants to contact you (in the capacity of a Wikimedia Ghana User
 Group member), they can easily find your user talk page via this list.
