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 was the second Wikimania I've participated in. It was very exciting that I got to meet the people I was working with. During the whole conference, I was interested in community outreach and technical-related sessions, like Wikidata, OpenStreetMap etc. After getting back from Wikimania, I've started to implement those experiences in our community and home wikis.

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