Wikimania

Wikipedia's yearly conference starts tomorrow in Alexandria (yes, that Alexandria).

Wikimania is when editors actually get to meet each other face to face. (It's also a more general tech conference, and therefore a magnet for the digital overclass -- I think I saw Cory Doctorow walking around at Boston Wikimania.) But Egypt is far away, so there are fewer English-speakers attending.

I'm not going because I hate conferences. But if you're hungry for coverage:

• Wikipedia Weekly will be churning podcasts and interviews
• Attendees will be tweeting from their phones
• There's a chatroom
• In theory, video will be streamed straight from the sessions. I'll believe it when I see it.
