I recently attended the Wikimania conference here in Washington, DC. I really can’t express how amazing it was to be a Metro ride away from more than 1,400 people from 87 countries who were passionate about creating a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. It was my first Wikimania, and I had pretty high expectations, but I was blown away by the level of enthusiasm and creativity of the attendees. Since my employer supported me by allowing me to spend the week there, I thought I would jot down some notes about the things that I took from the conference, from the perspective of someone working in the cultural heritage sector.
