BarCamp Ghana 09 was themed "Leadership for our times - cultivating change makers" and the event was centered around youth creating and making change and setting up themselves to lead, be innovate and entrepreneurial now. The event run from 9am past 7pm and was free for all attendees. Breakfast, lunch, and drinks were all provided at no cost to attendees.

BarCamp Ghana 09 was the second edition after the successful organization of BarCamp Ghana 08 held at the Ghana-India Kofi Annan Center of Excellence for ICT on December 22nd, 2008. BarCamp Diaspora, a similar event for Ghanaians in the US, occurred on July 25th, 2009 at the Johns Hopkins University –SAIS in Washington, DC. This year’s BarCamp Ghana was focused on youth, entrepreneurship and leadership. A BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering where attendees meet for discussions, demos and networking. It is popularly called an ‘unconference’, where every attendee is both a speaker and a participant. The content is provided by all attendees based on their interests, unified under the theme.
The event got underway at 9:30 am with opening remarks from a couple of BarCamp Ghana 09 organizers. A little history lesson about BarCamps was given as well as the story and goals of BarCamp Ghana. The keynote speech was delivered by Patrick Awuah, the founder and president of Ashesi University. Patrick spoke about cases where he was entrusted in a leadership position and how he is trying to educate ethical, innovative and socially responsible leaders through Ashesi University.
After registration and breakfast, the ‘unconference’ got underway. The first panel of the day was a roundtable discussion on leadership moderated by Dr. Sodzi Tettey. The panelists were Patrick Awuah, Estelle Sowah of Google Ghana, George Minta-Jacobs of EMPRETEC, and Anna Bannerman-Richter of the Longevity Project. They talked about youth volunteerism in Ghana, empowering young people to make differences in the communities, the importance of taking action, the exciting opportunities available, and the challenges the youth faced in being enterprising or innovative.
The next item on the program was the agenda building session where attendees interested in organizing breakout sessions announced their topics of interest. Lunch followed this session and was provided by the Meltwater Entrepreneurial School of Technology (MEST) kitchen. During lunch, the organizers prepared the breakout sessions schedule by location and time. In all, BarCamp Ghana 09 had 19 sessions over 3 different time slots. Each session was an hour long. Some of the sessions included The Facts and Secrets about Entrepreneurship, Leadership, African language technology tools, Philantropy, Clothing Africa, Starting companies, Technology in Education, Hardware and Software solutions for rural Ghana, Conflict and Dispute management, SAP software, Green and Alternative Energy, amongst others. There were also 4 sessions organized by Google employees about Google Apps, Google Maps, Google tools for websites, etc. The breakout sessions were successful, engaging and educational. A full list of the sessions will be published on the BarCamp Ghana 09 website.
The second panel was about what tangible things the youth of Ghana was doing now to create change and lead now. This panel was moderated by Esi Cleland and the panelists were Araba Amuasi, Sammy Laryea, Sophia Kokor and a representative of the Leaders for Tomorrow Foundation. They discussed the challenges of youth leadership, and those that the youth face in trying to make a difference in their communities.
In the spirit of inspiring the BarCamp Ghana 09 attendees to take action on the ideas that had been shared and the topics that had been discussed, a presentation about an NGO that was formed out of the recent BarCamp Diaspora rounded up the BarCamp. REACH-Ghana is a healthcare-focused NGO formed out of a healthcare breakout session at BarCamp Diaspora. They talked about their history, goals, mission, projects and called for membership and volunteers.
Notes from BarCamp Ghana 2009 will be published on the website and a white paper will be prepared to detail the ideas and information coming out of the BarCamp. The organizers hope to see attendees partner to work on various projects and business as well as start new businesses, and organizations. There will be future BarCamps in various places in Ghana to send the conversations nationwide and continue to bring the idea of congregating, sharing, learning and acting to Ghanaians everywhere.

On December 22, 2008, over a hundred young Ghanaians met in Accra for BarCamp Ghana '08 to exchange ideas on entrepreneurship, innovation and development for a rising Ghana. This summer, the conversations moved to Washington, DC on July 25, 2009 where BarCamp Diaspora '09 brought together the African Diaspora to exchange ideas on doing business in Africa.
This December 21st in Accra, the BarCamp Ghana team, made up of passionate young Ghanaians, presents BarCamp Ghana '09, under the theme "Leadership for our times - cultivating change makers". The event will take place on December 21, 2009 from 8am - 6pm at the Meltwater Entrepreneurial School of Technology (MEST) campus at 20 Aluguntuguntu Street in East Legon, Accra.
A BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering where attendees meet for discussions, demos and networking. Unlike a typical conference, at a BarCamp everyone is both a speaker and a participant. The content is provided by all attendees based on their interests, unified under the theme. This year, the focus is youth in leadership and how the youth can create and make change in various ways in various disciplines for the betterment of Ghana. The event would highlight different success stories involving change-making youth. Change makers and youth leaders are strongly encouraged to attend.
BarCamp Ghana ’09 is a FREE event for anyone who is interested in using their skills, talent, and resources to benefit Africa. BarCamp Diaspora gave birth to a Ghana-focused healthcare NGO, REACH-Ghana, which will be presenting its story since its inception in July. BarCamps all over the world have brought together individuals and organizations to collaborate on various projects and businesses.
Panelists and speakers will include Patrick Awuah of Ashesi University, Estelle Sowah of Google Ghana, George Minta of Empretec, Hajo Birthelmer of Meltwater Entrepreneurial School of Technology (MEST), amongst others. There will be sessions organized by Google representatives and as well as other breakout sessions on various topics and interests as put forth by the attendees. If you are creating or making change in your own small way in your community, consider sending the team a note about your project or business to info at barcampghana dot org. Some of these stories will be mentioned at the BarCamp and all the information will be on the BarCamp Ghana website.

See you there!
After the success of BarCamp Ghana '08, I dreamt of a similar event in the US. It took a while to bring the planning and organization together and last weekend, the dream came true in the form of BarCamp Diaspora '09. The event, themed 'Investing our talent where it counts', took place at the School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins' University in Washington, DC on July 25. BarCamp Diaspora was a free event that brought together people interested in using their skills, talent, and resources to benefit Africa. The event went on smoothly and judging from the feedback of the attendees, I can call it a success as well.
BarCamp Diaspora was a free event which had about 100 registered attendees and about 70 people showed up to the event. It was 'tweeted' through Twitter, you can search #bcdiaspora for related tweets. The event was also streamed live online through ustream which had viewers in Ghana, Burkina Faso, the UK and the US, amongst others. These were put in place to allow people outside the venue to participate in the event which worked. Questions and comments were submitted through these media which were communicated to the BarCampers present. One attendee volunteered to record video for the whole event and many attendees took digital photos. Since, we couldn't get the funds to support a longer event, BarCamp Diaspora took place between 12 and 6pm (as advertised) with a short snack break (plantain chips, donuts - bofrot, atsomo, water and soft drinks).
The keynote speaker for the BarCamp was Ashifi Gogo, CEO of Sproxil.com and co-founder of MPedigree.org and a 2009 World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer. He spoke about various ventures he had been a part of (including Odadee.org) and his present project which is fighting counterfeit drugs. Ashifi is a PhD Innovation Fellow at Dartmouth College and the service is taking off in Nigeria and Ghana. He also talked about the challenges and intricacies involved with doing business in Africa and mentioned mobile communication, microfinance and big agriculture as what's hot in Africa at the moment. Ashifi mentioned that there were many opportunities back home and advised those who wanted to return to Africa to pursue enterprises or businesses ('do something') to have 5 year work plans and save before returning. He also talked about having friends there and keeping in touch in classmates. He stated how his colleague from his alma mater Presec had now become the deputy minister of information. I loved Ashifi's presentation, it was educational, funny, and told his story really well.
In order to foster the BarCamp spirit, we had zero panels; only breakout sessions. A lot of sessions were suggested and we ended up with 9 sessions over 3 time-slots, hence 3 ongoing sessions at each time. They were Microfinance & Mobile technology (Derek Koranteng & Benjamin Lyon), Healthcare in Ghana (Maame Sampah), Innovative technologies for rural communities & Mobile apps (Molly Mattessich & Jackie Adhiambo), Creativity & the Arts (Seyram Avle), NGO's (Aida Manu), Gender, education and technology (Henry Barnor), Scientific research in Africa (Akua Akyaa Nkrumah), Using technology to connect communities (Raquel Wilson), & Blogging & Social media (Jemila Abdulai). Most of the sessions were round-table style and ensured participation from as many as attendees as possible. These sessions were tweeted as well and notes were taken, which will be provided for the public soon. The brainstorming and discussions in these sessions were great and gave birth to many ideas and promoted projects/businesses that were working on those ideas. Attendees learnt about blogging, and many organizations and projects which are fostering African development.
The organizing team took care of the opening and closing remarks, as well as the agenda building session which helped decide the breakout sessions. The opening session talked about the idea behind BarCamp Diaspora - bringing together intellectual and enterprising minds to dialogue and discuss African development in whatever sector or discipline they were interested in. The agenda building session allowed attendees to share what issues were most important to them and which discussions would dominate the business of the day. The closing remarks summed up the day's agenda, the ideas generated and the need to consolidate the thoughts, ideas and solutions for future use. The plan is to draft some policy papers around some of the discussions to be presented to various organizations who can push for their implementation. One attendee, Kofi Ntim, had a lot of helpful information about receiving funding for start-ups and enterprises and he gave a short presentation at the end of the BarCamp.
Most of the attendees were Ghanaians, especially those who lived in the DC, Maryland, Virginia area. This was a result of the network that the organizing team had available. Unlike BarCamp Ghana, the ratio of women to men was much better and ladies represented in full force. There was a good mix of students (both in undergrad and grad programs) and professionals. It obviously showcased a youth movement, since more than 75% of the attendees were under 30. Barack Obama called on young Africans to take charge and some of them were at BarCamp Diaspora. I don't remember anyone mentioning Barack Obama at the event even though we were right in his backyard (DC) and he had just been to Ghana. Like one attendee said, the attendees were busy talking about what they could do for Ghana/Africa and not thinking of what Obama or the West needed to do.
Many thanks to the organizing team for the putting this together. The GhanaThink Foundation was the main sponsor and provided funds for event material and food and drinks. This allowed us to make the event free. JHU-SAIS' African Studies program sponsored by enabling us to use the Kenney Auditorium, four classrooms and other spaces for free. Judging by the amounts we were quoted while looking for a venue at the start of planning the BarCamp, JHU-SAIS did us a huge favour. In the future, we'll like to enlist more forward-thinking organizations like GhanaThink as organizers & sponsors so as to keep the BarCamp event free, increase the network from which the attendees come and provide more for the attendees. There is still a lot of room for improvement, with note-taking, better live-streaming, documenting and promoting ideas, etc.
When you are having trouble getting people into different sessions to stay with the schedule, it may not a bad thing. It may be because attendees are busy networking and discussing future plans, which takes a little longer than short breaks. We hope to see many ventures and initiatives started out of this event. One lady who needed help with a business plan sat Kofi Ntim down to get as much information as she could, that makes for fulfilling and valuable time spent. If your attendees are fulfilled, then your work is fulfilling. Thanks to all our organizers, sponsors, our volunteers, our attendees and our broadcasters. Tell a friend to tell a friend to tell a friend. It's time to move. Less talk, more action. Let's begin to invest our talents where they count.

By now you may have seen our new GhanaConscious look at the new website. We’re changing the overall look of our website to capture an exciting and user-friendly image that is indicative of our mission and community.
Composed of an African map and the three colors we often see in many African flags, the new logo incorporates the three colored dots from the old GhanaConscious logo and the concept of RSS (Really Simple Syndication). RSS captures the notion of idea sharing from a variety of sources. In our case, it involves the syndication of content from subject related postings or sound waves contributed in an African context.
While the colors red, gold and green take on different meanings for each African country, setting them against the backdrop of an African map represents the generation of ideas that occurs on GhanaConscious from all of Africa. Our blogs and forums may spring from different backgrounds, locations, ideologies and disciplines, but we all have one end goal.
It is our hope that the new logo will renew an interest and enthusiasm to help make the GhanaConscious a community of people who take particular interest in discussing issues affecting its cultural neighborhood (primarily Ghana) and generate homegrown solutions for development.
As a user, you have the same capabilities — keeping a blog and contributing to a forum or blog discussions. GhanaConscious also gives you the opportunity to network with people from various academic and social backgrounds. If it’s been a while since you visited, log in, update your profile and help us learn more about you. And while you are it, join a group at Homefront (also set to have a new look soon!) Feel free to email comments about the GhanaConscious website to us.
Type away and let the intellectual talk begin...but don’t let it end there!
It’s time to move...

Ask questions and discuss the competition here
In July of 2005, we announced The GhanaThink Foundation Invitational Programming Contest dubbed 1.GTPC.06. The main aim of the competition was to encourage and motivate graduating seniors of Ghanaian tertiary institutions to design and develop their senior projects for the Ghanaian market which would not be prototypes for their departments only.
The announcement was greeted with enthusiasm by the GhanaThink community and we received donations for the prize money. Sadly, the same enthusiasm did not come from the target academic community.
Among the schools invited, only students from Kwame Nkrumah University for Science and Technology (KNUST) registered for the competition. A total of 4 groups registered, with only one group completing the competition successfully.
After a thorough verification of the entry, we are proud to announce the winners of our maiden programming contest. Eyram Tawia and Francis Dittoh supervised by Dr. J.B. Hayfron-Acquah will receive a cash prize of $300. Their project was a 3D Computer Game called The Sword of Sygos. The game was implemented using the Microsoft® Visual Basic® .NET programming language and utilised the Truevision3D engine.
The story line from the manual reads:
The King of Rome, Aribanis and his son Horutius, has their kingdom under attack by an evil dark force Antobis and his army. Antobis has invaded Rome and taken over the castle and held Horutius captive behind bars.Horutius had the chance to escape into the woods with the help of Cyprus, an old wizard who knew about a prophecy. The prophecy of Sygos states ; "if a non royal should rule Rome for 5 earth days, Konkos, the invinsible dark demon would descend and rule earth and humanity would be gone forever."
Only He with the Sword of Sygos can destroy him.
In search of the Sword of Sygos, Horutius returns home to fight for his rightful throne. All within 5 earth days.
Francis and Eyram believe that 3D graphics is a good platform for teaching. They also believe that as Ghana's IT sector develops there will be a need to break out of the traditional sectors like databases and networking into 3D graphics development.
Congratulations to Francis and Eyram for winning the 1.GTPC.06. They will be receiving their cash prize of $300 within the next week and will be profiled in the GhanaThink newsletter Gong-Gong. Their thesis will be made available on Africathink in pdf format.
Again congratulations to Francis Dittoh and Eyram Tawia
We would also like to express our gratitude to the GhanaThink community judges for their support and patience.
Welcome to the revamped GhanaThink website! We have been working over the past months to incorporate your feedback to bring you the new look. We hope this new theme and structure will make information about GhanaThink more accessible.
GhanaThink's subdomains GhanaConscious, Tsooboi!, AfricaThink and Homefront will be moulting into new looks VERY SOON!
The site now sports our new logo which symbolizes progress, ideas-to-reality; less talk and more action. It consists of a light bulb, a clock and an outline of the African continent. The light bulb with the outline of Africa represents homegrown solutions and ideas. The clock divides the light bulb into two segments, representing the passage of time. The bold segment implies implemented ideas and solutions while the grey section represents work that remains to be done.
Don't forget to login to GhanaConscious, update your profiles and network with the Ghanaconscious community. It is our hope that the additional profile information will encourage you to communicate with other members. But don't let it end there. Spread the word by inviting your friends to join the GhanaThink community!
