Thank you!

Having arrived home earlier today, I just wanted to send a quick note
saying a big THANK YOU to the local planning team in Buenos Aires and
to all helpers, for a beautiful, inspiring, fun Wikimania 2009
conference and a great party. The program had way more interesting
talks to offer than I could see (yay video!), the volunteers on the
ground did a fantastic job, the venue was great, and the city was
lovely to explore. I hope you all get some well-deserved rest, but I
can't wait to see what Wikimedia Argentina will come up with next. ;-)
Kudos to all of you!

Thank you so much Erik, for your words. After the hard work, is quite
rewarding to know that you people could enjoy the conference. See you

I can only second all what Erik had said. By the way, I did get the
chance to see the Southern Cross from the plane. So also this wish of
mine was fulfilled.

Re: Thank you! [In reply to]

I wasn't there, but I'll echo Erik, Ting and Jerry - from everything
I've read, the organizers did a great job and really represented the
Wikimedia community well. Thanks for your hard work and
congratulations on a job well done.

Ditto <he says while downloading some video>. I am in love with B.A.,
and glad that I have a few more days of vacation here before I have to
return home. Thank you so much, Carlos, Patricio & everyone!

After having been a member of the past 5 Wikimanias, I have to outline
how nicely organized everything was. Indeed, the bar is raised very very
high now for the future events.
Great program, great people, great food, great parties. Even
unexpectedly warm winter weather. Patricio, you were worried the first
day about the two event location... that was no trouble whatsoever.
Thank you as well for the videos and live streaming, and for the
translation service.

Yeah, all of you guys did a great job !

Re: Thank you! [In reply to]

Indeed, what Florence & everyone said -- this year's Wikimania was
fantastic. There were several details that especially shone:

- the great swag; the book was my favorite part
- the welcome dinner and all the nice information for arriving attendees
- the tight moderation & room volunteer team, who kept everything
cracking along on schedule; this team of folks deserves extra applause
- simultaneous translation!!!
- videos of all the talks!!!!
- the great common areas
- coffee all the time :)

I also heard lots of praise for the conference program, and for the
city itself. I also know a lot of work got done, and hundreds of
interesting conversations were had; I hope a lot of good results come
out of this year's conference.

Most of the details I listed above are based on ideas that have come
out of past wikimanias; so I'd encourage everyone to post their
feedback (let's start http://wikimania2009.wikimedia.org/wiki/Feedback
for survey-feedback, as well as
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimania_2011)... and if you're
interested, please help out with the planning for next year and future
conferences if you can.

Thanks again to an organized, dedicated and responsive team that spent
the past 18 months working on this conference; your hard work
definitely paid off.

Re: Thank you! [In reply to]

Thanks Florence, Phoebe. It's always nice to hear we did a good job, it makes us all very proud.

I wanted to ask everyone to contribute to the feedback not only with prise, but also with [constructive] critic. It will help us internally, and also the Wikimania 2010 organisers, to learn from past mistakes.
We are also at complete disposition of the Polish team for what they might need, including a self-review we are preparing.

We need to work together so that Wikimania will be every year better than the last one!

Thanks also to all the attendees; it was wonderful having you with us.

Cheers,
Mariano Cecowski.
