Outcome[edit]

Option 1: Shared Experience: What is one way you shared something from your experience with your community (either locally or globally), after the event?

This is the first Wikimania I've participated in. I got the chance for the first time in 2017 though. It was very exciting because finally, I got to meet the people I was working with. This year 6 Wikimedians from Bangladesh participated.

During the whole conference, I was interested in outreach, Wiki Loves Monuments, Wiki Loves Earth and technical-related sessions, like Wikidata. After getting back from Wikimania, I've already started to implement those experiences in our homewikis, like Wikidata:Wikiproject Bangladesh.

And the last thing I have to say: Thanks to Wikimania!

Here are some sessions and meetings I've attended:

During the conference, we got some news coverage in Bangladesh:

Wikimania pre-conference begins (archive link) (in Bengali) @ Bangla Tribune
Wikimania main conference begins (archive link)(in Bengali) @ Bangla Tribune
Nelson Mandela's diary is open on Wikimedia (archive link) (in Bengali) @ Bangla Tribune
Wikimania ends in a variety of events (archive link) (in Bengali) @ Bangla Tribune

Option 3: New Creation: What was one useful outcome that was created at the event for the Wikimedia movement?

Add a link to something new that was created as a result of your participation in this event (for example, you might link to a new tool that you and your co-participants worked on at the Hackathon, or to pages created in a workshop you participated in).

Started Wikiproject Bangladesh and discuss more with some fellow Wikimedians from country and abroad.
We discussed planning for ESEAP conference 2019 and proposal for Wikimedia SAARC 2020 conference in Bangladesh.
Meet and learn with Kiwix people and share plan how Bengali Wikipedia included to this project.
