@D3r1ck01, @Flixtey: Do you mean Congo Brazaville or Congo Kinshasa?

Hello @BamLifa, I think the "Congo" in this case is what you requested for (Democratic Republic of Congo) as per this chat: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Twro9twofxhblmn2. Please let us know which one is the right Congo but I'll update the list to DR Congo as you had requested. Thanks and hope this clears the doubt.

The correct is Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Hi, does the activity in Nigeria have its own task?

@Qgil, it doesn't yet have it's own tasks! But in the next coming days, we'll coordinate with the Nigerian Team on the ground and create tasks related to the Nigerian event! Thanks

This task has been assigned to the same task owner for more than two years. Resetting task assignee due to inactivity, to decrease task cookie-licking and to get a slightly more realistic overview of plans. Please feel free to assign this task to yourself again if you still realistically work or plan to work on this task - it would be welcome!

Hi everyone! Should this task still remain open? Does someone plan to work on this? Thanks! :)

So... what does your team think?

@Elitre: If that was a reply to me (not sure), then my team has this on its radar (see workboard column), which only means watching it and not driving it...

Yup, it was for you. I guess your team doesn't do proactive "recruitment"? Otherwise this would be a great opportunity.

Resolving as that's past (and to clean up workboards with lingering tasks a bit). If someone would like to take responsibility, please reopen this task - thanks a lot!
