  1. I was a participant in the open data anniversary celebration in Tamale. At age 68 and still learning, I was happy at being a participant. The theme was topical because A1 defines the boundaries of “today” and “tomorrow”!! I have decided to register to join the Dagbanni Wikipidia Group to make a contribution to the usefulness of Open Data because excellent work is being which must be made to the relevant areas of usefulness.
