The effort was an eye opener to those new to Asia and to the growing communities in the region. This year Wikimania transcended its role as a gathering of Wikimedia projects, becoming the local event of the year for the free culture community in Taiwan. Wikimania became a reason for Creative Commons and Debian Linux to create parallel events, showing Wikimedia's influence worldwide. — Andrew Lih
