Join this group if you are installing, maintaining, or otherwise involved with at least 1 Drupal installation used by Africans within Africa. We want to keep our discussions locally relevant.
If you are from South Africa, please join the South Africa group at http://groups.drupal.org/south-africa.
For all the rest, feel free to join this group until there's enough community (say 10 members) in your region--enough to split off.
Meanwhile, welcome! We (www.suuch.com) are based in Accra, Ghana!

Help with Drupal Association Feedback
Hi everyone,
I was recently voted onto the Drupal Association board in the community elections. As an at-large member of the board my job is to directly represent the voice of our community. I'm looking for your help with that. :-)
Do you have concerns or ideas that you think the board should be aware of or involved with, and if so, how do you currently communicate those to the DA? If you don't share your thoughts, why is that and how could I help make it easier and/or safer for you to speak up?

This is my recommendation
Do a lot of site building work focused mainly on using Drupal Core to its fullest and extending Drupal using contributed modules as much as possible instead of creating custom modules. Use Drupal recommended best practices.

My Acquia Certified Drupal Site Builder Story
I want to share my experience in taking the Acquia Certified Drupal Site Builder Exam. Few friends and colleagues have asked me to provide them with a list of materials I used to study.

If you study, you may score 100%. This is my recommendation;

Going to DrupalCon from Africa?
Hello everyone!
During DrupalCon Prague, Reinier Battenberg pulled me aside to talk about why there were so few people from Africa attending DrupalCon. Even less than in past years.
So we arranged a Birds of a Feather session to see if others were interested in seeing what we could all do to help improve this situation.

That BoF was mostly just a good opportunity to start a conversation.
Who was there?
Matthew - British Council
Paolo - Six Eleven
Reinier - Mountbatten, Uganda
Ekes Kester (sp?)
Frans - OSconsultant
