Here are the excellent notes from the session I led on blogging yesterday, courtesy of Oluniyi David Ajao, one of the most successful bloggers out of Ghana.
Noteworthy is also that 24 people signed up to receive more information about ghanablogging.com after the session. Yihaa!
Also, see the Flickr photostream here (where I borrowed the photo for this post).

>I am right now at BarCamp Ghana 09, all details can be found in Oluniyi’s blog here or the official BarCamp Ghana site here.
It came to a slow start, but “everybody” is here, many members of ghanablogging.com, lecturers, industry reps, entrepreneurs and cool students – so networking is great!
Importantly, I will be leading a break-out session on blogging in an hour. What I will talk about is
1. Why should you blog?
2. How can we together create Internet content that is relevant for Ghana?
3. How can online activities be taken in to the “real world”? (with the example of ghanablogging.com)
Hope to see you in my session!

So, now it’s official: I am making my BarCamp debut early next week! The Ghanaian version of this world wide “unmeeting” is taking place at the Meltwater Entrepreneurial School of Technology (MEST) in East Legon, Monday the 21st December the whole day. See more information about the event here.
Although the strange name of this happening suggests something as scary as “camp”, I am still excited about the free meeting format and three more things.
1. It looks like ghanablogging will be holding a session about forming real life groups from online communities.
2. The organizing group this year are much more locally anchored compared to in 2008 when (it seemed like?) all organizers came from abroad.
3. The founder and president of Ashesi University, Patrick Awuah is giving the keynote address, and he is a very good speaker! As he is also my boss, that part of the BarCamp will be like a regular day at work…:-)
Hope to see some of you there!
