The summer may be over, but the memorable events and the inspiring ideas of the past few months carry on in the months and perhaps even years to come. One such event, as you heard a bit about in the previous episode, was Wikimania 2017 in Montreal. Close to 1000 people, from over 70 countries, passionate about free knowledge and the wikimedia movement. But what really happened at Wikimania 2017? Today on the program, we look closer at this extremely important gathering… with help from legendary Wikimedian David Richfield, who will not only talk about what he took home from Montreal, but also the path that brought us to this point, and even more exciting, what is to come in Cape Town 2018.

The summer may be over, but the memorable events and the inspiring ideas of the past few months carry on in the months and perhaps even years to come.
On our last episode we previewed the topics and goals of Wikimania 2017 in Montreal. Today, several weeks after the event, we look back at how it went and what it might mean for the future of the movement.  We do so with help from legendary Wikimedian David Richfield, who was not only in Montreal experiencing it all, he is also one of the people behind next years global gathering in Cape Town!
