Hello everone,
I hope all is well and you have all recovered from Wikimania 2014.
In thinking about "The Wikimania Games Corner". I have a request to ask of everyone. I was wondering if we could make this a tradition that continues for future Wikimanias to come. I know that it's a tough asked, but here at we've proved that anything is possible when people come together to help out.
Also, in thinking about it, I also have some takeaways that also apply not just to wikimedia, but to everything in life:
Takeaway number 1: Be excellent to each other. (Yes, I realise that this is a "Bill and Ted" reference). Takeaway number 2: Encourage positivity and kill off negativity. Takeaway number 3: If you have an idea, don't just think about it. Plan it out and do it.
I look forward to hearing about your takeaways from Wikimania 2014.
Kind regards, Adi Khajuria
I wasn't able to attend the Games Corner (sorry about that :( ) but I hear it went really well. It'd be really cool to make this a tradition for future Wikimanias I think, it's a great way to just hang out.

Adi,
I can say with confidence that the Games Corner was fantastic. The Oculus Rift, the huge screen, the MarioKart... It's definitely something we should have at future Wikimanias. Many, many thanks for setting it up.

Thanks for this idea! Unfortunately I couldn't attend the Games Corner because of a prior commitment, but we might do something similar next year. Any and all suggestions are welcome.
See you here next year!
