 We can contact those who were at Barcamp Koforidua to ask who was in
 the session. If you send me a picture of the session, I could recognize
 people and give you contacts :-)

 From what transpired, it was a good session and people learnt a lot.

 We can target edits to the Koforidua, Koforidua Technical University
 and ANUC pages.

 Thanks for the pictures.

 Barcamp Accra dey. But there be Barcamp Ho, Kumasi and Sunyani before

 Hello guys,

 I was at the Barcamp Koforidua this year. I was part of a breakout
 session where Wikimedia world was discussed.

 How many people joined the session? About 8.

 How many people were recruited? None. Did I take anyone's contact? No.
 Did anyone show enthusiasm to join? Not that I noticed.

 Did Wikimedia/Wikipedia make sense to them? I think so. When one
 lecturer at ANUniversity came to appreciate the structure of Wikimedia and
 Wikipedia and why everything happens the way it does, everything I guess
 made more sense to him.

 At the educational level, how people see Wikipedia and it's related
 project sites is very different and negative. If and should that be fixed,
 I'm sure the effects will bubble down to many in schools.

 Will those who joined the breakout session become editors? I don't
 know. Will they get in touch to learn more? I don't know. Did they take
 something useful about Wikimedia home? Yes, absolutely. I gave Wiki-related
 handouts I received from Wikimedia UK to some in attendance.

 A lecturer at Koforidua Poly plans to get in touch later in the course
 this week to further discuss if they could do something Wikipedia Education
 Program related. Will update this thread with more.

 Pictures of the event: https://twitter.com/has
 htag/bckdua?f=images=default=hash

 Are the pictures on Wikimedia Commons at the moment? Mine aren't, will
 upload in the course of this week.

 I hope to be at the Accra Barcamp as well, then with a combined power
 from all the Wikimedia guys in Accra, we could push the Wikimedia word 
 more.

 Did I do a good job at Barcamp Koforidua 2016? I don't know.

I just told all in attendance to search for "Wikimedia Ghana User Group"

Oh, sorry Rexford. Contacts are not normally shared at breakout sessions.
We'd make a note to fix that. Cced Rachel.

We can contact those who were at Barcamp Koforidua to ask who was in the

We can target edits to the Koforidua, Koforidua Technical University and

[Wikimedia-GH] [Update] Barcamp Koforidua 2016

2016-10-16 Thread Nkansah Rexford 
Hello guys,

I was at the Barcamp Koforidua this year. I was part of a breakout session
where Wikimedia world was discussed.

How many people joined the session? About 8.

How many people were recruited? None. Did I take anyone's contact? No. Did
anyone show enthusiasm to join? Not that I noticed.

Did Wikimedia/Wikipedia make sense to them? I think so. When one lecturer
at ANUniversity came to appreciate the structure of Wikimedia and Wikipedia
and why everything happens the way it does, everything I guess made more
sense to him.

At the educational level, how people see Wikipedia and it's related project
sites is very different and negative. If and should that be fixed, I'm sure
the effects will bubble down to many in schools.

Will those who joined the breakout session become editors? I don't know.
Will they get in touch to learn more? I don't know. Did they take something
useful about Wikimedia home? Yes, absolutely. I gave Wiki-related handouts
I received from Wikimedia UK to some in attendance.

A lecturer at Koforidua Poly plans to get in touch later in the course this
week to further discuss if they could do something Wikipedia Education
Program related. Will update this thread with more.

Pictures of the event:

Are the pictures on Wikimedia Commons at the moment? Mine aren't, will
upload in the course of this week.

I hope to be at the Accra Barcamp as well, then with a combined power from
all the Wikimedia guys in Accra, we could push the Wikimedia word more.

Did I do a good job at Barcamp Koforidua 2016? I don't know.
