Dearest community members,

The Wikimania 2021 Core Organizing Team https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2021#Organising_team and Wikimania Steering Committee https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_Committee are excited to share with you the evaluation results of Wikimania 2021.

We wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone – that’s 1700 of you from across the movement – that helped create the first online Wikimania. Whether talking about welcoming newcomers, fascinating presentations, catching up with old friends, or singing and dancing together, you were essential to the success.

After the event, we asked you to share your thoughts about the first ever virtual Wikimania: How accessible and inclusive was Wikimania 2021? What did you most like about the event? What would you have changed? And how did the newcomers among us feel? We invite you to read the report https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2021:Evaluation.

And if you’re feeling nostalgic, you can watch back all of the great video content https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikimania_2021_presentations, including the session that brought out the performers in all of us: the Wikimania 2021 song https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2021:Wikimania_Song.

The Wikimania Steering Committee will be sharing more information on how to get involved for 2022 in the coming days, so stay tuned … and get excited!

Best wishes from the 2021 Wikimania COT,

Winnie Kabintie
