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

Wikimania 2022 - Making Meaning of “Knowledge Equity” and “Knowledge as a Service” I learnt that Wikidata is seen as centre of content service as everyone can contribute to it. The speaker (Lydia) explained that Wikidata can be used as knowledge as a service and promotes its usage to build apps. I also learnt about the knowledge equity status of Wikipedia that can be used to tell your own story without bias.

I am a Wikimedian, not an accountant! Here is how fiscal sponsorship can get your grant going I learnt about using a Kiwix account for grant, I also learnt about fiscal sponsorships for non-profit organizations and I think it is a great thing that there will be tax exemptions

Digital Security Basics I learnt about safety while using the internet and I would say this was my most enjoyed session

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

I could not use the Networking feature on Pheedloop but I enjoyed discussing with other participants in break out rooms. I celebrated Wikimania by treating myself to a very nice meal.
