Dear Participant,
We are excited to welcome you to the African WIkimedia Developers Program
coming off from the *23 - 24 June 2017* at the Impact Hub
<http://accra.impacthub.net/>. We encourage you to attend both days of the
training to maximise the opportunity to fully understand and learn about
MediaWiki. Its amazing the number of people who signed up and how hard it
was for us to trim the numbers due to limited space, we however wish to
appeal to you that if you are unable to attend kindly send an email to
jagyepong(a)openfoundationwestafrica.org to allow us give the slot to the
next person.
We advice all participants to install the following free software/tools, [
Git, Apache web server, MySQL server / MariaDB server, PHP interpreter,
phpMyAdmin, Git Review, SSH if not available, Composer (PHP package
manager)] on a linux/unix based Operating System to ensure a smooth running
of the training and to also avoid delays on the day. Visit our main page
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/African_Wikimedia_Developers_Project> for
more information about preparing towards the event.
