From Previous Wikimanias
Most of the attendees were really wikimedians. Not swarms of journalists, nor curious visitors. There were many times I had this odd feeling we were on meta, or on this list, just chatting or trolling, simply face to face.
I think the central point was a little anthill where we could always find others, someone to talk to, something to look at, something to eat... It felt such a warm place. — Florence Devouard
