OSGeo news and events are actually controlled by you: you can draft the
news item yourself (include image files [hint: your FOSS4G logo with
ribbon]) and the exact text as you want it to appear) and then send that
through an email to news_item at osgeo.org Then the OSGeo news team
(several volunteers) post that item to: the osgeo.org news & events
sections, Twitter, and Announce list.
Once you get this domain ready it would be great if you could submit a
news item for this.

Added Gérald to the CC of this message. Gérald would you mind making
this change for foss4g-africa.org ?

Already joined! Very happy and proud to help bring FOSS4G initially to
Africa in 2008 and then for its glorious return this year, which will
create amazing momentum for 2018! I have noticed that this mailing list
has been quiet though, I'm hoping it kicks into action soon :)
Talk soon,
