Things I learned

• Community Outreach : This activity can help for education section by connect to institutes, schools, and libraries. This project can reach to lecturers, students, and librarians in various regions.

• How To Start and Develop Your User Group : User Group can make movement by active users. We need to positive motivate to them. They are important members. And this User Group can grow up to be Chapter if can make efficiency results.

• Education Program Planning and Evaluation : We do workshop and talked together. Therefore we know that planning in step by step is important.

• Ups and Downs of Organizations : Efficiency management is important for this organization. Wikimedia Taiwan shared experience about grown up organization.

• Wikipedia Asian Month Review : This activity can also collaborate with GLAM activity.

• Grants for individuals : These Grants good for activities such as edit-a-thons, contests, and events. Three main things to consider are a clear goal, resources, and measurement of success.

• Wikimedia 2030 Movement Strategy : I think this section is related to Wikimedia Strategy 2017 (discussion on Thai wikipedia). In my view, Good strategy can direct to success in the future.

• Ideas for ESEAP Collaboration :

1. Liang is a Taiwanese who represented to Wikimedia Indonesia for a one week to exchange ideas for this conference.
2. We think two days offline meeting is too short for this conference.
3. Location were nominated to be host in 2020 are Taiwan and Thailand. (Maybe we add other choice in the future.)
