Welcome

Willkommen auf der offiziellen Webseite der Wikimania 2008! Die vierte Wikimania wird diesen Sommer in der renommierten neuen Bibliothek in Alexandria (Bibliotheca Alexandrina) stattfinden. Die Vorbereitungen laufen bereits: Unter anderem wird an einem Stadtführer, der Anmeldungsseite für die Veranstaltung und einer Gelegenheit zur Online-Mitarbeit gearbeitet. Schriftliche Themenvorschläge können bereits eingereicht werden.

Wer gerne mithelfen will, die Wikimania 2008 zu einem besonderen Ereignis zu machen, zum Beispiel durch Mitarbeit in einem oder mehreren Organisationskomitees (online oder auch im Rahmen der Konferenz), findet unten auf dieser Seite die relevanten Links.

Wir danken für das Interesse an der Wikimania 2008.

Monday the conference started to wrap up, and the journalism unconference began to unfold. They only took up one first-floor room, but they managed almost 100 people and a great deal of discussion afterwards.
Meanwhile, Wikimaniacs were gathering and lounging about under the portico outside the Harkness Commons, talking much of the day through. By evening, many day-trips had been completed, and all broke for low-key dinners and trips to the airport. As the dorms cleared out, there was still a hint of Wikimania in the air, with shirts floating down the street, and people saying "oh, were you at that Wiki conference? I heard about that..." — Samuel Klein
