Takeaways – choose 3 specific Wikimania sessions you attended and describe your key take-aways per session.
  1. 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.
  2. 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!
  3. 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.
