[Wikimania-l] thank you

[Aphaia]

I'd like to join the choir, thank you all the organizers and also to
Lodewijk, let us know the people who offered help in the last weeks.

Specially I'd like to appreciate the streaming team, on behalf of
Wikimedians in Kyoto, Japan. As I told Mathias, the meeting we at
Wikimedia User Group in Kansai presented in Tokyo last Friday, it got
a nice stable clear streaming, without any problem, user:Aokomoriuta
said to me. Again, thank you for your all work which made it.

hugs and kisses,
