Hi everyone,
Thank you to the organizers of the Wikipedia 15 celebrations that we shared today among San Francisco, New York City, Seattle, and elsewhere. (I believe that remote viewers may have included people who are currently in Russia and Japan!)
Thanks to the organizers and facilitators:
* Pharos, Joly and company coordinating activities in New York City
* Pete Forsyth, Stephen LaPorte, Rosiestep, and Brendan Campbell for coordinating activities at SF
* Katherine Maher, Juliet Barbara, and the WMF Communications team, for facilitating the community takeover of the WMF collaboration space
* Kacie Harold and the Grants Advisory Committee https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:PEG/Grant_Advisory_Committee for authorizing some of the funds for the event
* And to everyone else who supported or attended today, especially the presenters and panelists.
Video links to Youtube (Commons uploads will happen in the near future, I believe):
* Welcome and lightning talks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGhxEpowM6A * "Wikipedia's content gender gap": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uW1WSVmpvwk * "Stories from the weird old days": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLmGc-hpp3U * Panel discussion "The impact of 15 years of Wikipedia": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiEjkxCGmgU
Here's to the next 15 years!
