AfroCine: Join the Months of African Cinema this October!
[edit]Greetings!
After a successful first iteration of the Months of African Cinema last year, we are happy to announce that it will be happening again this year, starting from October 1! In the 2018 edition of the contest, about 600 Wikipedia articles were created in at least 8 languages. There were also contributions to Wikidata and Wikimedia commons, which brought the total number of wikimedia pages created during the contest to over 1,000. About 9 in-person events were also organised for the edit-a-thon in different parts of the world.
The contest is organized by a Wikimedia project called The AfroCine Project, which is dedicated to improving the coverage of the history, works, people, places, and events, that are associated with the cinema, theatre and arts of Africa, African countries, the Caribbean, and the diaspora.
If you would love to join this exciting event, please list your username as a participant on the English Wikipedia contest page. If you would love to lead this contest for your country or community, please list your name in the coordinators' page here. The rapid grants team would be accepting proposals throughout October and November, in case you'd need funds to run local edit-a-thons or some other activities related to this event. Upon listing your name on the coordinators' page, you'd be contacted to talk about the resources you'd need to run the event in your community. You can also contact me directly for any clarifications.
Finally, We also need volunteers to handle some aspects of the AfroCine project. These aspects include:
- Community Liaison: This role essentially involves closely engaging with local communities to support their activities within the scope of Afrocine.
- Communications: This involves the communications aspects of the project. Sharing relevant information on mailing lists and social media would be the responsibility of this person.
- MAC Jury: This role involves joining the jury of Months of African Cinema contest. We need as many people as we can get 🙂.
- Tools: Going forward, we would need relevant tools to better track the metrics and also analyse the general impact of these events. We are calling for Wikimedia volunteers who can navigate wikimedia tools that can be useful for the project.
If you would love to help with any of these roles, or some other roles that have not been mentioned, please contact me directly or on: samoye_hotmail.com
If you have further questions, complaints, suggestions, etc., please reach out to me personally or right here or the project talkpages.
Thank you!--Jamie Tubers (talk) 17:10, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Invitation as guest speaker to Episode 4 of WikiAfrica Hour
[edit]Hello User:Jadnapac,
I hope this meets you well.
My name is Ceslause Ogbonnaya, from Wiki In Africa. Two months ago we launched the WikiAfrica Hour with our first ever episode featuring outgoing Wikimedia Foundation CEO, Katherine Maher. You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIgEatqSYJk&t=854s. Our second episode featured the role photography plays within a Wikimedia context, where we had special guests from Wiki Loves Earth, Nos Jardins, Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos (WPWP) and Nigerian Commons Photographers User Group. You can check out episode 2 here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SMx7JpIk_g . For episode 3, we discussed the mysteries surrounding the WMF, and demystified the WMF Board during the session, with the help of two former WMF Board chairwomen, a section of the WMF Board election facilitation team, and the three WMF Board upcoming election self-nominated candidates from Africa. You can view the episode 3 via https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWhISG1XCyc&t=1s .
We started WikiAfrica Hour, a monthly vodcast, to build the community of Wikimedians across Africa by:
1.Interacting with guest(s) and ask questions from the context of and relating to African Wikimedians;
2.Providing a platform for Wikimedians to discuss topics, issues, projects and collaborations to promote synergy and more advanced knowledge within the Wiki communities across Africa, and
3.Sharing current updates, and highlights of Africa Wikimedians activities undertaken by Africa Wikimedians with the African audience, and those globally who are interested,
For the next WikiAfrica Hour, we would like to host the teams behind two great Wiki events, Wikimania 2021 and WikiIndaba 2021. This episode is tentatively slated for 30th July 2021 at 4pm UTC. The aim is to give our viewers deep insight and idea about these events, their benefits and organization. We specially want you as one of the guest speakers, as we hope you can give us great insight on the Wikimania 2021 pre-conference.
The vodcast is run live using StreamYard, with the support of Andrew Lih from the Wikipedia Weekly Team. WikiAfrica Hour is a live broadcast and will be simulcast on the Wiki in Africa YouTube and Facebook channels, as well as Wikipedia Weekly YouTube and Facebook channels. The episode will remain for reviewing on both YouTube channels.
I look forward to hearing from you, and confirming your availability. Please let us know if 30 July 2021 at 4pm UTC is convenient.
Regards,
- I hope you are fine and it's nice hearing from you.
- I would like to congratulate you and your team for such a good program as I find it to be so helpful especially for African Wikimedians to know different topics covered in your program regarding different Wiki activities and projects.
- Thank you so much for inviting me to be one of the guest speakers, and I will be happy sharing some insights regarding the Wikimania 2021 Pre-Conference in Tanzania. I have seen your email too and responded to it (please have a look).
