How did you attend Wikimania (virtually or in-person)?

I attended Wikimania virtually.

What did you spend the scholarship funds on?

I spent the scholarship funds on internet access and on getting a new gadget.

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

1. The Opening Ceremony: Though I attended the event virtually, there was an atmosphere of belonging that steamed to all sides of those that participated virtually. That I'm sure of.

2. The meet and greet session with spotlights on regional segments in which certain projects have been worked on. It was great to see the amount of impact we've made so far.

3. One thing that I was overly joyful about is the ability to experience Wikimania in different languages. From English to French to mention a few.

I wasn't privileged to see the whole event due to the poor connection I had here at the time. It certainly was worth every person's time. It was my first time seeing and attending the event and I wasn't disappointed in anyway.

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

Due to the fact that I participated in the 2022 Wikimania Conference virtually as an individual, there was no much of a physical connect but I experienced knowledgeable ideas from those who participated in the talk. That was majorly my reason for attending Wikimania 2022. To gather different ideas from various schools of thoughts.
