Wikimedia Hackathon 2022 (Ghana)/Local Meet up

About
Wikimedia Hackathon 2022 (Ghana) is a local meet up event of the main Wikimedia Hackathon 2022. The Hackathon is for anyone who contributes (or wants to contribute) to Wikimedia’s technical areas - as code creators, maintainers, translators, designers, technical writers and other technical roles. You can come with a project in mind, join an existing project, or create something new with others. The goal of this year's local meetup event is to bring together translators from Ghana to contribute technically for a local meetup of the upcoming Wikimedia Hackathon 2022.

To talk about the format of the event being physical/in-person, as the world is opening up, we also feel that it does make sense to host an in-person event rather than online, of course with all appropriate safety measures. During the last two years, we realized that many things can be organized online, however, certain components of in-person events such as forming new social connections don’t work well in an online event, which are also crucial to a community. So we would like to take this opportunity for this hackathon.
