Making Meaning of Knowledge Equity and knowledge as a service Headed By Maryana Iskander: Accoding to Lydia still in the session, knowledge as a service was all about getting knowledge out and the ways to give people that knowledge. Giving people access to build up theirs experience and getting them to find what they want. Aspects of knowledge Equity were discussed in which Wikipedia and wikimedia projects provide opportutinities for all stories to be told, which make one to be able to see their own stories in free knowledge. This is so interesting to becouse it makes me feel like I'm in a family and own part of the inheritance of the house which is true in the technological worl with Wikipedia and Wikimedia.

Finally The Local Event Integration - Uganda: where the was free interactions with the team and though we were celebrating locally and Virtually, We were able to feel the mood of cellebration with the team in Uganda. I like the suggestion of having others Languages not only Luganda, giving me the feeling of more inclusiveness to Wikimedia and to anyone in anyplace as well.
