There will be a few events at Wikimania. Among them :
* A Friday evening poster reception, with some cool new demonstrations * A Saturday night party, with robots, holograms, and a Web 1.0 theme * The World Calvinball Championship * The Wikimania Awards, with prizes for the best free-content media and writing uploaded to the projects over the past year * A free-content film festival, including a presentation of a clip of the documentary of last year's Wikimania presented by the filmmaker, Rory O'Connor (with some thoughts on why he came to think a community-edited Wikimentary would be a great idea; cf. [[m:Wikimentary]] ) * Outings into the city on Monday; rumours of a beer-sampling run. * A 40th birthday party for Jimbo, Friday night
...and a few other satellite parties. Keep an eye on the events page, and update it with events you know of that are planned for Wikimania.
