ByKickStart meeting in Joburg for the Wiki Loves Women project
The Wiki Loves Women Project : encouraging the contribution of quality information on African women to be published on, and made widely available via, Wikipedia


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.
