David posted a link to this article on the Y! irishblogs mailing list, and before I'd finished reading it I was about to say "hey, I was there!": then I saw that I'd gotten a mention for my blog post about my first Wikipedia article on "Tonto's Expanding Head Band"...

My First Wikipedia Article...

... is about Tonto's Expanding Head Band. Fitting that I write it at Wikimania!

Wikimania05/Paper-IM1 - Wikibooks

Gave my talk this morning, as I said it was "scary and exciting" being the first talk at the first Wikimania conference. We had an interesting Semantic Web session, with questions ranging from abuse of metadata to open versus closed sets of typed links. The Wikimania audio page is available.

So far, having a good time at Wikimania. Lots of interesting people here, and the real crowds are only just arriving... Met Ward Cunningham (creator of the first wiki site) at lunch; a group of us went to Haus Wertheym in the Roemerberg area as Eugene wanted to try somewhere more authentic and local.
