Halo Everyone<br><br>(Firstly, short statement on behalf the team)<br><div><br></div><div>Thank you for your congratulations, we honored that we are awarded to host the 9th global Wikimedia Conference.</div><div>our team will work as best as we can, to facilitate such conference, and meet your expectations.</div>
<div><br></div><div>and we are lOOking forward to seeing you here in Hong Kong, and hope you will enjoy the conference!</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>(then a longer part of personal thoughts)</div><div><br></div>
<div>I recently read a story on Facebook:</div><div>Once upon a time, a boy behave badly in school, with very poor results</div><div>and his teacher told his father about the situation.</div><div><br></div><div>Then the father tell his kids, if the boy can get 0 mark in the exam</div>
<div>then the boy can do whatever he wants</div><div><br></div><div>But the boy found his way to get 0 marks, but actually he learnt all the correct answer in order to write down the wrong answer</div><div>Then his father told him, actually the boy actually can finishes his school works with flying colors</div>
<div><br></div><div><end of story></div><div><br></div><div>Actually the Hong Kong bid was similar situations,</div><div>even you ask me about the possibility having a Wikimania in Hong Kong</div><div>I would tell you that's impossible.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Even when we start to "explore the possibility to have a Wikimania in HK"<br>I personally thinks that would be a process proving it is impossible</div><div><br></div><div>but more and more supports comes, more volunteers willing to helps.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Our fellow local team really fights bit and bit for support,</div><div>that's why they are so eager to get the bid, </div><div>because we all know that is not really easy to have such support<br>especially for group with almost every organizer is so young :)</div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Well, there is still a lot things to be done ahead</div><div>so better end my note here, and get back to work!</div><div><br></div><div>A BIG thank you to everyone involved in the bidding process, especially to all the bidding teams!</div>
