'''Wikimania''' is an annual international conference of the [[About Wikimedia|Wikimedia Foundation]]. |
|||
Wikimania is both a scientific conference and a community event, bringing together the various Wikimedia projects. It is an opportunity for the communities involved in creating Wikimedia content to meet each other, exchange ideas, and report on research and projects, as well as a chance for them and the general public to meet and interact. Wikimania provides an opportunity to meet and talk with people at the forefront of the Wikimedia communities and [[MediaWiki]] software development. |
|||
As well as being a forum for research and ideas about the Wikimedia Foundation projects, Wikimania brings together those interested in free and open source software, free knowledge initiatives, and other wiki projects worldwide. Wikimania serves as a venue for people across fields, including software and hardware development, library and information science, knowledge management, journalism, law, policy, and education to share ideas about the future of free knowledge and open-source content projects. |
