Having arrived home earlier today, I just wanted to send a quick note saying a big THANK YOU to the local planning team in Buenos Aires and to all helpers, for a beautiful, inspiring, fun Wikimania 2009 conference and a great party. The program had way more interesting talks to offer than I could see (yay video!), the volunteers on the ground did a fantastic job, the venue was great, and the city was lovely to explore. I hope you all get some well-deserved rest, but I can't wait to see what Wikimedia Argentina will come up with next. ;-) Kudos to all of you!

Thank you so much Erik, for your words. After the hard work, is quite rewarding to know that you people could enjoy the conference. See you soon,
Patricio
I can only second all what Erik had said. By the way, I did get the chance to see the Southern Cross from the plane. So also this wish of mine was fulfilled.

I wasn't there, but I'll echo Erik, Ting and Jerry - from everything I've read, the organizers did a great job and really represented the Wikimedia community well. Thanks for your hard work and congratulations on a job well done.

And, videos are great, so I'm enjoying many presentations. :-D You can find them here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikimania_2009_presentations (they're still being uploaded). Thank you!

After having been a member of the past 5 Wikimanias, I have to outline how nicely organized everything was. Indeed, the bar is raised very very high now for the future events. Great program, great people, great food, great parties. Even unexpectedly warm winter weather. Patricio, you were worried the first day about the two event location... that was no trouble whatsoever. Thank you as well for the videos and live streaming, and for the translation service.
Yeah, all of you guys did a great job !

Ditto <he says while downloading some video>. I am in love with B.A., and glad that I have a few more days of vacation here before I have to return home. Thank you so much, Carlos, Patricio & everyone!
