Hello all!
The past couple of days I have been working on collecting information about each of the Wikimanias, as well as documenting the history of bids and conference ideas, to produce a concise and complete "history of Wikimania" page. It's on meta: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania
If you helped out with organizing, remember what went on at one or more of the conferences, or are just willing to help copy information over from one of the Wikimania-wikis, please help fill this page out! I want to try and get our collective knowledge about five years of Wikimania written down in one place. Please also add fields for information I may have forgotten, translations, etc. etc.
And my apologies if there are any mistakes, I am doing this mostly from memory.
cheers, phoebe
