I would like to take this opportunity to thank openstreetmap Africa for organinising this year`s state of the map Africa. Before I go further, let me introduce myself here https://mapuganda.org/morish.html.

During this three day conference, I learned allot. The interesting session for me was mappathon where I was able to contribute to the openstreetmap through mapping and I learned new advanced josm tricks which makes mapping easier.

Networking during the conference was amazing. connecting to fellow mappers around Africa was something unforgetable to me. though time was not enough.

The lession that I learned from the conference will help me to improve my mapping skills and I will apply some of the ideas that I got from SOTMA to my community for development purpose.

My challage during SOTMA was lack of enough data which made me not to attend all the sessions but I am hoping to watch them on youtube once they are uploaded. The amazing session was the least but not last one which was SOTMA after party where I learned new dance steps from enock, shamillah, geoffrey and sharon who were outstanding and thank to Dj Angela. The session was full of jokes and I believe it was a session with the highest number of chats.

Many thanks to all the 75 speakers and organisers for making SOTMA colorful.
