Alange

We wish to build a team of Wikimedia volunteer developers from Africa due to the following problems faced in our continent:

  • There are very few developers from Africa in the Wikimedia Foundation (movement).

We wish to increase the numbers to fulfill the movements vision.

  • Volunteer developers to add more features on MediaWiki projects and its extensions including APIs etc. from Africa and in addition, develop tools/projects that solve common problems within the African context to promote the movement’s activities in a technical approach.

For example a project like Wiki Loves Africa or Wiki Loves Women where a tool can be developed to analyze the data to rank and produce the results of the winners for that year etc.

  • Avoid waiting on a small skewed group of developers to solve the many tech problems in the movement especially peculiar problems pertaining to volunteers from our terrain.
  • Lack of participation from African volunteers in tech inclined Global events in the movement such as Google Summer of Code, Google Code-In, Outreach program for women etc...

Proposed Solution

We are currently a team of two ready to work with very experienced minds both in and out of the movement to make this idea a realized one. We intend to recruit volunteer developers and use the opportunity to champion the cause of the movement.

The plan so far is getting the following;

  • A mailing list of volunteer developers in Africa to share ideas and topics of discussion with others to get them interested.
  • Tap into affiliates of the WMF and user groups of different movements (GDG, Python group, Linux group etc.) in each country to see if we could get some people interested in contributing to MediaWiki.

We believe it is reasonable in this sense as it's often easy for developers already contributing in the open stream to move to similar new projects.

  • Use word of mouth in university institutions (to the science students/programming students/computer science) and see if we could get them interested in the movement's activities and to contribute (this would be done per country and stats will be shared).
  • Train prospective groups of developers in the select countries and motivate their continued efforts through the mailing list.
  • Organize a once a year meeting/hackathon to enhance and showcase their works.
  • Per country, we would keep the energy active by nominating some volunteers to build developer communities in their various communities and bringing all these communities together, we would have a large community in Africa which are developer based.

Goals/Objectives

Have a community of developers from Africa.

  • Achieve a total of 20 active developers across the continent.
  • Participation of at least 10 individuals in the Summer of Code (GSoC) for 2018 from Africa.
  • Create a solution to at least one of the major technical concern from Africa.
  • Participate in solving concerns from the community wish list.
  • Organize at least one continental hackathon.

Project Significance

This would benefit the African community in that they would be able to play around with MediaWiki and its extension (them learning how MediaWiki and development in the Foundation/movement works).

Getting a developer feel of Wikimedia projects and maybe start thinking of a project to help the African community and the movement as a whole. For a start we will be working on projects in the mainstream and/or on existing projects, fixing bugs and helping to build a growing ecosystem. However we look up to starting some projects in the future and solving real issues that pertains to the continent.

With an African team of developers, we could come up with projects that could solve common problems within the continent. These projects will go a long way to solving our common problems. This will increase the level of awareness of the movement's activities in Africa and get more people involved in volunteering in community projects from Africa leading to an increase in the number of not only the editors but developers from Africa.

Getting Africans folks to participate in global programs which will benefit them and the Foundation as they will build tools to solve problems and real world tasks (enriching their career path) as developers. Programs such as Outreach for women (no participant from Africa), GCI (no participant from Africa) and GSoC (only 1 participant from Africa in 2016). In addition, it will groom developers with real skills within the open movement and aid the learning of the use of a completely new platform.

In a nutshell, our prime or primary objective is getting volunteer developers in the movement from Africa (active ones to work on Wikimedia projects and African related projects geared towards the movement's goals).

Proposal

Training Schedule

We intend to start and end training within the duration of March - June (4 months). This will include in country training for at least 3 countries but preferably 4 countries. Plan A, Twice in a month but held every other month. This leaves a month of planning and securing of logistics in between for each batch of events to be held at each location. Plan B, One event per country each month. Countries Proposed countries below:

Phase 1

  • Ghana - We settled on Ghana because there is a User Group and OFWA to support this activity in the country.

It’s a strong country when it comes to Wikimedia involvement on the African continent and we are likely to use the leverage already with partnering institutions to enhance this cause.

  • Côte D’ivoire - Côte D’ivoire is a strong country in the movement with an interest in computer science or programming.

We are very much aware about the enthusiasm for developer related programs with Google and other notable companies in the country. We wish to leverage their strengths and interests while roping in the user group to use the opportunity to strengthen their ties and announce their presence.

  • Nigeria - A very vibrant community in the West African sub-region and activities there will pull the crowds and creative massive awareness about Wikipedia and the developer opportunities for volunteers.

Kamerun

Phase 2

  • Tanzania - We have just started a growing community in the country and majority of the members are computer science students, plus we already have a partnership with a hub that is willing to give us their space, audience and support for the project.

The hub is linked with the government and creates strong ties to champion this cause.

  • South Africa - Has the only chapter on the continent and working with them will bring the kind of people we envisage as developers for the continent.

Currently there are a couple we know who are really doing amazing on the MediaWiki and will be great to rope them in.

  • Botswana* -
  • Kenya* -

Wikimedia Tech Clubs Initiative

The African Wikimedia Technical Community(AWMT), in collaboration with the Open Foundation West Africa (OFWA), has launched an exciting new initiative to establish Wikimedia Tech Clubs in universities across Ghana. These clubs aim to introduce students to the world of Wikimedia, specifically focusing on MediaWiki and technical contributions. This initiative seeks to bridge the knowledge gap among African tech-savvy students and provide them with opportunities to engage with and contribute to the Wikimedia ecosystem.

About the AFRICAN WIKIMEDIA TECHNICAL COMMUNITY

The African Wikimedia Technical Community (AWMT) is a community with support from OFWA seek to create an enabling ecosystem for technical contributors eager to learn and build new skills in the open space through volunteering and technical contributions to Wikimedia projects.

About Open Foundation West Africa (OFWA)

Open Foundation West Africa (OFWA) promotes open knowledge, digital literacy, and technology innovation across West Africa. Through various initiatives and partnerships, OFWA aims to empower individuals and communities with the skills and resources needed to thrive in the digital age.

Objective of the Initiative

The underrepresentation of African tech enthusiasts in the Wikimedia space is a significant challenge due to:

  • Lack of awareness and outreach
  • Insufficient skill development and training
  • Limited support for tech contributions

AWMT has launched this initiative to address these issues and encourage African students to actively participate in the Wikimedia movement through MediaWiki and other Wikimedia technical projects.

Why Ghana?

Ghana is home to a vibrant community of computer science students, coders, programmers, and tech enthusiasts. However, many students are unaware of the impact they can make within the Wikimedia space, mainly through MediaWiki. MediaWiki is the open-source software behind Wikipedia and several other collaborative platforms, offering numerous opportunities for coding, software development, and project management.

Future Plans: Expanding to Africa

While Ghana is the starting point for this initiative, our vision is much broader. The African Wikimedia Technical Community is committed to extending its reach across the African continent, building on the successes in Ghana to establish Wikimedia Tech Clubs in universities, schools, and communities throughout Africa. This expansion will provide more African tech enthusiasts with the opportunity to engage with the Wikimedia ecosystem, bridging the gap between African contributors and global knowledge-sharing platforms.

By extending this initiative across Africa, we aim to:

  • Foster a pan-African community of Wikimedia tech contributors who can work collaboratively on global projects.
  • Empower youth in different African countries to become advocates for open knowledge and open-source software development.
  • Ensure that African perspectives and content are well represented in the Wikimedia ecosystem, contributing to more inclusive and diverse global knowledge.

Through partnerships with educational institutions, local communities, and tech hubs across Africa, we will continue to train and support the next generation of African tech leaders and contributors to the Wikimedia movement.
