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 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 that. #Morevim!
