Takeaways – choose 3 specific Wikimania sessions you attended and describe your key take-aways per session.
  • A session on Design principals at Wikimedia Foundation by Sundhanshu, In this session I learned to tune our mindset in creating webpages or tools with the wikimedia centric theme, so it enhances users trust and provides smooth experience while using them.
  • An overview on language engineering team projects by Abijeet (known as Apatro), In this session I learned about content translation, language data library and continuous translation via translatewiki.
  • A session on Small Wiki Toolkits by Srishti Sethi, In this session we learned about its initiatives and brainstormed on technical learning that our communities have and the preferred learning formats.


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

Indic Wikimania Bangalore meetup brought us more learnings, a great opportunity to collaborate, network, learn and discuss about the broader objective, projects and strategy of the Wikimedia Moment. This year’s wikimania local meetup was one of the most successful events ever. It was really nice to meet all new and old friends after a long time😊
