My Input

edit

I did not give any speech or presentation but I participated with some ideas in: Gender Gap meetup: roundtable discussion and meeting with Web Foundation.

Participant Connections

edit
  • Blossom Ozurumba: We were working together to submit a presentation with the Web Foundation in Nigeria.
  • Ana Brandusescu: From Web Foundation.
  • Joy Agyepong: Joy and I were working together "virtually" on the Visible WikiWomen project, we had lots of plans were thanks to meeting physically we could make better Vision of what we can do better. We did it!
  • Douglas Scott
  • Marc Miquel
  • The amazing Felix Nartey.

And plenty other people, some had quick chat, some I already know so well, and had a good chance to help out each other on whatever pending projects we have.

Outcome

edit

This was my first WikiIndaba, it is more focused on Africa. I could not understand how this would be so beneficial, I meet African folks in Wikimania or WikiCon but it was a whole new experience.

I was truly inspired by the energy and the huge potentials we have. Even more, the projects we are running and launching. I - on a personal level- was so glad to be able to connect with many people who have different experience that I could apply and learn from. I would give the partnership with "Open Foundation West Africa" as an example of the progress done through Visible WikiWomen and also the participation of Wikimedia Tunisia in the project. This was so valuable.
