[Wikimania-l] Wikimania posters

[Ben Yates]

Heh, thanks.  Those files are all editable in Illustrator, if anyone
wants to have a go.

Here's my first shot at revising the text:

"Wikimania is an annual community event open to scientists and the public.

Wikimania is hosted by Wikimedia, the organization behind Wikipedia,
Wikimedia Commons, and other free projects.

Wikimania will explore the form and future of free knowledge, free
content, and free culture."

If nobody sees problems, I'll update the posters.  (Otherwise, other
people should hash out the specifics since I don't know that much
about this year's Wikimania.)

Cheers
