My Input / outcome[edit]
I participated in several capacities
- Submitted and showed up with two posters.
- One poster related to the WikiChallenge Ecoles d'Afrique project, an education program in 4 francophones African countries, which is a showcase use of the WikiFundi software : Program/WikiChallenge Ecoles d'Afrique Poster.
- A generic WikiFundi poster
- Stayed 3 hours at the poster session and got lot's of interested visitors.
- Co-hosted the Program/Activating the next generation : Wikipedia in Schools with Isla with presentation of the WikiChallenge Ecoles d'Afrique and WikiFundi
- hand out SD cards with WikiFundi to several wikimedia teams, cards made on the fly with the help of Bachounda. It was a challenge... but we appreciated the Internet connection at the hotel was up and good !
- Was invited to present Wikifundi during the Wikipedia and digital equity in Education: digital skills for life and free knowledge for the world by Nicole
- Participated to the Decolonizing the internet conference and volunteered for some post-event action

On the social side
- official face to face launch of Wiki Loves Women in Tanzania and Uganda !
- went for a 2 hours visit of the awesome en:Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden !
- Took the Ubuntu Township Tour trip, as I felt Cape Town should not only be WaterFront and TableMoutains (which I did not have the time to visit, sadly). Took a collection of photos to illustrate District 6 on Commons.
- attended a Wiki in Africa board meeting dinner
- assisted Harmonia to get her flight back to France on time :) (there really was a problem with the pre-booking of the transportation system to and fro the airport...)
- was featured on the cutest Wikimania 2018 picture (really drank too much that night though...)
