After the presentation, the conveners facilitated an interactive workshop, followed then by the screening of the documentary Family Name (USA, 1998) by Macky Alston, organised by the Thursday Films Series movie club." On August 8, 2015, the YorubaName team released Yorùbá Keyboard layouts for Mac and Windows to allow its users type in Yorùbá in anticipation of the dictionary itself. An update for Igbo language was released in July 2016. Of the effort, Laila le Guen, the keyboard project supervisor, said "the keyboard enables users to type English, Yorùbá and Igbo without switching language preference settings. The key combinations to type characters such as ṣ or á are easy to memorise which makes for a fast learning process." The update was also for Mac and Windows. On October 15, 2015, the first blog post on Yoruba names from the Republic of Benin was published. It featured names from the Sabe group of Yoruba speakers in the country. The blog post, written by Dr. Moufoutaou Adjeran, a sociolinguistics lecturer at Abomey-Calavi University (Republic of Benin), was the first indication of the presence of Yoruba names from Benin Republic in the Yoruba Name Dictionary project, curated by Laila le Guen. On August 31, 2016, it was announced that Yoruba names from a Cuban variant of the language called Lucumi (or Lukumi) are being added to the dictionary. This is achieved with collaboration with Cuban babalawo and scholar Nathan Lugo who, by his knowledge of Lukumi and Yoruba language phonology and use, is able to provide relevant information about names to users from both sides of the Atlantic. On October 21, 2017, the audio element of the dictionary, created by speech synthesis, was announced in a blog post, and described as being part of a dream to create "interesting speech synthesis applications that can enhance African languages in technology." The work was supported by a crowdfunding effort started on March 13, 2016  In a blog post explaining the motivation, Kola Tubosun explains that the effort is "an attempt to solve an old problem" but also "a push to achieve an important leap towards proper integration of African languages into the information technology age." In an interview with OkayAfrica, he added that the motivation includes the fact that "African languages have been left out, for too long in global conversations in technology... because we don’t care."
