Hi Jeremy, Deryck and All,
Just got back to South Africa, and before real life kicks in, I wanted to thank all
involved in Wikimania - the local organizers, the awesome volunteers, the speakers and the
delegates, and the foundation. (and a special thank you to WM DE for my trip!)
It was an incredible experience where friendship and community were heightened and
reinforced. The African delegation, though small, is much stronger for it. Watch this
space ;-)! And it is all due to being able to meet in a conducive and inspiring
environment.
Thanks again, and I hope you all get some rest!
Warmest
Isla

> A big thank you to all volunteers at Wikimania Hong Kong! You guys did an amazing
job, everything was so well organized. Even if it was a lot of work to bring the world
into your city, it was worth it. I am sure everyone will agree that you made it "à la
perfection"! And on the top, you are such happy and very kind people. It was an honor
to meet you all.
