A bird's-eye view of a selection of the coolest projects of the Wikimedia Chapters in the past year (2018 - Mid 2019). The lecture is aimed at inspiring the attendees of Wikimania by showing the creativity and community work from all over the world, by transferring the enthusiasm and ideas presented to other communities. A presentation during which attendees will learn about the most interesting and successful projects run by Wikimedia Chapters, followed by a vote on the coolest project, and choosing the coolest project for 2018. Wikimedia Chapters run awesome projects and programmes, all year long. Most of which, attendees have never heard about. Just like in 2011 - 2017 the lecture will present an overview of the coolest of these projects. The overview includes topics as: tips on running a successful project and pitfalls to avoid; how to obtain funds for the project; target groups or goals (see how such projects can assist in expanding the wiki community), sharing lessons learnt and the outcome of each presented project.
