Goals
[edit]Did you meet your goals? Are you happy with how the project went?
Yes, all the goals were met and we are pleased with how the participants attended the sessions.
Outcome
[edit]Please report on your original project targets.
| Target outcome | Achieved outcome | Explanation |
| 50 participants to participate in the in-person sessions. | We were able to host about 52 participants. | We had a chance to host more people, some were new and curious to know about our user group activities and the existing members who wanted to experience Wikimania for the first time. |
| 28 participants to participate virtually. | This was 100%. | The virtual sessions enabled a large number of our members to also enjoy Wikimania along with others virtually. |
| Get existing members and newbies to network and have fun. | This was fully achieved. | This year's Wikimania conference was also meant to be a time for the old and new members and network for future collaboration for all our upcoming activities/projects. |
Learning
[edit]Projects do not always go according to plan. Sharing what you learned can help you and others plan similar projects in the future. Help the movement learn from your experience by answering the following questions:
- What worked well?
- The process to inform the members and non-members went well which led to getting a good number of our Wikimania local events.
- What did not work so well?
- here was a little bit of a challenge is finalizing with the venue as they were changes in the hall that was meant to be given.
