Summary of what happened in day 1 and all activities done during the event;
* @Flixtey did a presentation on an overview of the Wikimedia movement and volunteer opportunities.
* Participants learned about Phabricator, Git/Github, Technical Areas in the Wikimedia movement, Introduction to IRC and made known of the programming languages used to build MediaWiki.
* We created an IRC channel for developers in Africa (#wiki-devs-africa) where all developers in Africa will come together and collaborate on projects.
** The IRC channel was registered and will be used for follow up and subsequent trainings.
* Participants during the event joined and introduced themselves in the #wikimedia-dev channel.
* Many participants were interested in hacking mediawiki core and contributing in building APIs and very few on building mobile apps.
* Participants have started dropping their emails on an etherpad here: https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/Wikimedia_Devs_Ghana. @Rfarrand this is for you :). The list will keep building as they put in their emails.
* Pictures taken will be uploaded to commons and the link will be put there.
All in all, Day 1 was very successful as we did more than we we planned for (all the ground work) and will focus on hacking on MediaWiki itself and building extensions.
