- I was worried that my lack of use of Mediawiki would be a problem at this conference, happily I was wrong. I enjoyed meeting many people who were wiki enthusiasts, but not necessarily Wikipedians. Highly recommend this event!! MarkDilley

Featured Text -- At AboutUs we recognize and celebrate the fact that we are also are part of a larger community that is comprised of other wiki enthusiasts around the globe. One way in which wiki folk get together is the annual International Wikimania Conference. Created by the Wikimedia community (which includes Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikiquote, Wikibooks, Wikinews and Wikispecies), this three day conference allows for a synergy of ideas and thoughts from across the wiki community, from developers and scientific discourse to community encouragement. With discussions, panels, presentations and workshops, Wikimania isn't just for Wikimedia people, but also provides areas interest to people using the Open Source MediaWiki software, like AboutUs. This year's conference will be held on August 3-5 in Taipei, Taiwan. While online registration for the event is available until July 30, the deadline for submissions for posters, presentations, workshops and discussion groups is next week on April 30.
