Excellent, and congratulations!
I'm particularly excited about the POTY and showcasing of Commons pictures on exhibition -- this is something I was discussing with some folks back in Wikimania 2010 in Gdańsk, so I feel closure. :)

Dear All, I am delighted to announce that the Polish Wikipedia community, supported by Wikimedia Polska, is going to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the project (founded on September 26, 2001) with a conference to be held on September 24-25, in Poznan, Poland.
We will start with a great exhibition of the winning POTY (Picture of the Year) pictures which will be showcased for two weeks, starting next Saturday, September 12, in one of the most prestigious shopping and art centres in Poland, the [[Stary Browar]]. 16 pictures, best of the best of the Wikimedia movement, will be shown on an exhibition open for the public, with descriptions in Polish, English and German.
The conference itself is not going to be any worse; we're going to have about 15 presentations and talks about Wikipedia, discussing the place of Wikipedia in court judgements, Wikipedia's role as a source of information, the now-hot topic of women in Wikipedia community and many, many more. There will be a public screening of the documentary film "Truth in Numbers?" about Wikipedia; there will also be cookies, balloons, talks into the wee hours, and finally, a massive Wikipedia birthday cake!
We're going to meet in the very heart of the very best location there is in Poznan; the conference will be open for the public, as we want to involve people from outside the Wikimedia movement. All talks will be streamed live on a special Internet radio and after the conference, all talks, audio and video, will be released under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 licence and made available on-line.
For a quick look at the conference, please visit the website http://10lat.wikipedia.pl. If you have any questions, feel free to approach the organising team at 10urodziny@wikimedia.pl; we're also there for you on the #wikimedia-pl IRC channel on Freenode.
On behalf of the organising team, Daniel // Leinad Wikimedia Polska
