Hello Comrades,
Its been a while since we got together to discuss issues after the
in-person trainings in the various countries. We are thrilled to share that
we wish to start a monthly meeting series on IRC and we are looking forward
to having our first meet on Friday 15th December 2017.
The venue for our discussions will be via our IRC channel #wiki-dev-africa
<https://www.irccloud.com/irc/freenode/channel/wiki-dev-africa>. We entreat
all to join in as we discuss your journey so far and ways to extend your
growth in the movement. Some particular issues for discussion will be:
- Are you still stuck and can't find your way (be guided, mentored, or
need help)
- Issues faced on your journey so far
- Finding ways of growing (projects to join, ways to get active or
useful, joining wider community activities, etc.)
- Any areas of interest we are missing
- What are we not doing right (any advice or suggestions)
- Questions from the community?
