MakerFaireAfrica [MFA] is also happening live at the Advanced Information Technology Institute [AITI], Ghana-India Kofi Annan Centre of Excellence [KACE] in Accra from the 14th – 16th August from 0800GMT to 1800GMT daily. It sure would be worth the time spent there.
MFA is designed to create a space on the continent where Afri-gadget-type innovations, inventions and initiatives can be sought, identified, brought to life, supported, amplified, and propagated, this conference will answer the question, "What happens when you put the drivers of ingenious concepts from across the African continent together and add resources to the mix?"
With more than 900 people expected to participate, MFA is a chance to change the conversation about Africa from development to innovation. Check out my post on MakerFaireAfrica.
If you are a blogger and living/residing in Ghana, we have a Ghana Bloggers Group that meets once every month. We are meeting again on August 13th @ Smoothies Pub at the end of the Oxford Street in Osu from 0630GMT.
Miquel Hudin Balsa is visiting Ghana for the Maker Faire Africa workshop and would like to meet Ghana Bloggers. He's one of the founders and the main programmer of Maneno; (which is a blogging platform) being built for the African blogger. You can read more about MANENO
“The Africa Mentor Network event will introduce the art of networking into the Ghanaian community and create an environment where all corporate executives who may be competitors can come together for a common purpose,” it said.

Too bad I'll miss the event, it would have been fun to meet some of the bloggers. I arrive tonight for the MFA event.
I'm one of the regional editors for Global Voices Online and am really looking forward to the conference.
Best,
