Outcome

Except reaching planned goals I think one of the most achievements was integrating Bashkir community to cooperation inside CEE, by promoting project CEE Spring 2016 in Bashkir Wikipedia.

Presenting Wikiexpeditions together with visem

First time I have been translating system messages. More than 100 messages have been translated by me into Ukrainian language.

Together with Drbug, Айсар and Саган talked to the director of the health complex Yanhantau about the possibility one of next cee meeting on its base .

With representatives of Wikimedia-Ru, Wikimedians of Bashkortostan User Group, representatives of Sakha and Tatar Wikipedia we discussed the future possibility of organizing Turkic conference.

With Gikü in Orheiul Vechi

On our way back via Chișinău we had a meeting with Gikü and we made together short trip in Moldova. During our trip we made several promotional pictures for future Wiki Loves Earth 2016 which planned to be upload during the contest.

Personal notices and opinions

Such kind of seminar is very useful especially for representatives of small language projects, where people can meet together, work intensivelly and share ideas
In this seminar the participants were more aged people than usualy we can meet in other Wiki-events. There were no problem with Gender gap, but in my opinion we should mind Age gap in the future by involving to wiki-projects both young and aged people
Representatives of regional languages should be involved more in wiki-events in international level even if their level of English is very bad
Wikimedians of Bashkortostan User Group made a good example for wiki-representatives of other regional languages in Russian Federation and abroad
According to high level of organization of Wiki-Sabantuy 2015 and Wiki seminar Yangantau some future international wiki-events can be hosted by Bashkortostan
