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.

believe):
