So I'd
like to again thank those Phoebe named and add a few more, although
there are inevitably some whose names I may not know to recognize their
contributions.
See, I knew I could never get all the names. I'm adding one that I missed.
In addition to Mido, others from the planning team
that developed the
Alexandria bid and had the vision and belief in Wikimedia's potential in
Egypt and the Arab world - thanks to Shipmaster (an example of someone
who was not at Wikimania, but helped put it together), Hamdy, Amr, and
the Egyptian Wikimedia community.
Along with Dr. Ismail Serageldin, Director of the Bibliotheca
Alexandrina, and Dr. Noha Adly - thanks to the staff of the ICT
department, especially Moushira, Monia, and Omneya. They were a great
help before, during, and after the conference.
For those who contributed their hard work throughout Wikimania, either
in preparation or the day-by-day activities - thanks to the amazing
local volunteers, especially Nada, Ashraf, Mohamed, and Ahmed.
I've been
reminded that I overlooked Abdel Rahman, who wasn't on the
list the staff helped me put together. But since he's one of these I
know I met in person, I should have remembered. Thanks again to him and
anyone else we've failed to thank personally.
