- Takeaways – choose 3 specific Wikimania sessions you attended and describe your key take-aways per session.
- Digital security basics (speaker:Konstantin Urbanec) - There is need to be digital secured on the web and social platforms, especially through passwords and identifying spams.
- Wikimedia sound logo production masterclass and roundtable (Mathoto Matsetela, Tas Elias) - there were two sessions and I attended both. I got to learn how to produce simple sound with a computer software. Will definitely try it out!
- Wikimedian of the year 2022 (speakers:Jimmy Wales, Mehrdad Pourzaki)- I got to meet Jimmy Wales for the first time and several other Wikimedians. I particularly like several categories for the Wikimedian of the year, it covered more users and I hope Wikimania 2023 will have broader categories too.
- How did you connect with other people during Wikimania 2022? How did you celebrate at Wikimania 2022?
I connected through chats and breakout rooms. I celebrated by joining and watching dance troupes. I also celebrated by joining the Wiki banquet session. Several attendees shared what they ate and how their local delicacies were made.
