How did you attend Wikimania (virtually or in-person)?

edit

I have attended wikimania 2022 virtually

What did you spend the scholarship funds on?

edit

This have have been possible due to the scholarship that i received. Because the scholarship funds for wikimania cover internet fees that i engaged during the event to follow properly the sessions. Without the grant, it would be a little bite hard to be connected and follow all thoses sessions.

Takeaways – choose 3 specific Wikimania sessions you attended and describe your key take-aways per session.

During 2022 wikimania edition, i have followed differents sessions. But 3 specifics sessions caught my attention

I am a Wikimedian, not an accountant! Here is how fiscal sponsorship can get your grant going

This session is what interests me the most because of my domain. As tax lawyer , i am really happy to get informations about fiscal sponsporship. And the possibility to benefit from tax-exemption of wiki foundation when i get a grant. This session shows differents aspects that wiki takes into account. That is really interesting for me.

This session is after the session on fiscal sponsorship, is one of my favourite because, it a real example of regulations in an international institution which brings differents communities together.

The steps of conducting the process and the idea to take into account our diversity is what make me happy. It will help me for my own development for the future.

How did you connect with other people during Wikimania 2022? How did you celebrate at Wikimania 2022?

Globally, i have been connected to others people by the general chat for each sessions. The chat help us to interact.

But the interaction could be better, if there were no problem on the plateform during the welcoming sessions and the second session that i followed.

Apart from that, this wikimania edition is a good celebration, a lot of think to learn, differents sessions, and i think people find will what they are looking for, accorind to their goals.

Thanks to organizers. Many thanks for the opportunity. Great Job !
