Participation (and pizza and cake!) will be free, with room for ~100 participants, who should bring a photo ID for the door. All are welcome, and we are especially interested in seeing newcomers to join the experienced Wikipedians/Wikimedians. We also hope for the participation of our friends from the Free Culture movement and from cultural institutions interested in developing Open Education projects.
In addition to the party, the event will be a modified
unconference, with dedicated plenary sessions (organized on this wiki),
lightning talks to the whole assembly, and of course
open space sessions. The Lightning Talks and Open Space will be determined during the event itself, so it will be good to bring your ideas with you.
There is wifi access, and we will give you the log in details on-site. Projectors will also probably be available for use by the various presenters.
Libraries and sourcing concerns, and the consequent opportunity for teaching.

It was a pleasure giving this speech. If anyone was video taping me giving the speech, can I make a request? Unless my face is not shown in the video, could you please not put it up on YouTube? I don't show my face on the public internet. Thank you.
