As one of the organizers for Wikimania in 2012, I have
enormous gratitude
for Wikimedia Israel for the effort they put into running this conference.
This is only my second Wikimania, with my first being four years prior, so
it's hard to compare this to others. But I am without a doubt going to
remember the experience -- from the many new faces I met, to the memorable
lectures, to the powerful and dynamic keynote presentation from Professor
Benkler. This is a shining example of what Wikimania is and should be, and
to repeat what everyone else has said, this has absolutely set the standard.
I also say this as someone familiar with some of the dynamics of the actual
operation of the conference. Even after over a year of planning, hiring, and
dealing with every issue that came along, they still took the time to relive
the process and explain how Wikimania works to me, Katie, Tiffany, Sarah,
and all the other 2012 organizers who made it to Haifa. Their knowledge and
wisdom will aid us considerably as we go into full gear organizing Wikimania
2012.
Your patience and competence have not gone unnoticed, and they will not be
forgotten.
Thank you.

Huge, huge thanks to WM Israel for Wikimania 2011
And more thanks--everything was very well put together and I had a
fantastic time in Haifa. Wikimania always reminds me how much I enjoy
and respect the people involved in the projects, who all understand
why you spend so much time and effort (and sometimes headaches) on
this crazy thing.
I am particularly impressed at how the organizational team was so
quick to respond to requests and difficult situations, and how they
continued to be friendly and thoughtful and ready for everything, even
after what must have been weeks with not enough sleep. I hope it is
now their turn to relax on the beach...
And I look forward to seeing you all in DC next year!
-Kat
