In May 2016, the Wikimedians involved in WLW (Florence Devouard, Isla Haddow-Flood, Geugeor, Dominique Eliane Yao, Rberchie, and Olaniyan Olushola), met at the Goethe Institut in Johannesburg (South Africa) with Brigitte Doellgast (Head of Library & Information Services, GI) for a face to face meeting.
We had 3 busy days to kickstart the project, several excellent meals (an opportunity to meet new and scary types of food...), an edit-a-thon day at Constitutional Hill and the visit of Tshimologong, a Digital Technology Hub getting set up in SA by Prof Barry Dwolatzky.
Quite a few pictures have been posted in Facebook by Dominique Eliane and others [1], [2], [3], [4], [5].
New month, we look forward to announcing our first content partnerships.
