Back home; missing Wikimania already! Regards from Boston...

[Samuel Klein-2]

Dear Wikimaniacs,

Alexandria was a blast, and over much too fast.  I'm still processing the photos I took (my camera was imediately snagged by my friend Julia who is off in Thailand this week, and I forgot to offload my SD card), but I hope to share the images from the children's library, which was fabulous.   And the last night of revelry...   Thanks to everyone who helped pull off such a delightful event!  For those who couldn't make it this year, I think what I missed most was the lack of Calvinball -- but the beach and the artefact museum hidden in the basement of the venue more than made up for it.

I was particularly cheered by the interest and participation from local students and hackers, and need to finish learning Arabic so that I can follow up on ar:wp .   Is there an Arabic-language overview of the conference and related press that I can point people to?  And do we have a shared delicious tagset?

Regards to new friends and old -- say hello on Skype if you see me -- and I hope we may meet again soon, one way or another;

SJ

That's neat, but I only see two arabic links, and mainly English; is there a separate press page written for an Arabic-speaking/reading audience?

...and if they don't use the English word for "Wikimania", they'll
probably use the Arabic translation that we've been using:
