[Foundation-l] [Wikimania-l] Wikimania 2008 will happen in Alexandria, Egypt

[Maria Fanucchi]

You've got it all wrong. You need to come to Kourou! There are beaches,
tropical rainforests, rivers, lakes, the ocean, and if you get bored you can
always tour the space museum and see the Ariane rockets.

Hmmm, I wonder if we could plan a Wikimania around an Ariane launch...

(Also not entirely joking.)

(Much.)
