And Deryck coordinated the program and made it work! He definitely played a
big role in the conference :)

I'd like to point out the work of Deryck Chan, who
was there for us, with
his group of volunteers, from dusk 'til dawn at the dorms. Mr. Chan act as
a facilitator for the foreigners that we are, and I want to thank him
personally for his availability and his patience! We all come from
different cultures, and some things may look not important for some of us,
but for the hosts, it was a big thing.
"When in Rome, do as the Romans do": few of us broke rules in Hong Kong,
me first, and probably without knowing, but Deryck had the patience to
explain this many times.
Last night, he mentioned to me "Wikimania is so big, it's hard to manage
all this". Well Deryck, you did great; as we say in French: "Une poigne de
fer dans un gant de velour."
So, Deryck Chan, please let me give you an high five. You earn it.
Now rest please! :-)
