This week, we highlight some of the roles that community members play in Wikimania.

Wikimania offers members of the Wikimedia projects a chance to meet and discuss ongoing projects, challenges and ideas for the future. One major goal of Wikimania 2006 is to provide a forum for the many Wikimedia Foundation projects to learn from and communicate with one another, and to share their current status and future goals.

There are many opportunities for the community to be involved with planning, participating in, and following the event. Those unable to attend the conference can participate in the online aspect of the conference held concurrently with Wikimania; can propose presentation topics and submit posters; can submit content to the media and writing contests; and can volunteer to help with the website, translation and other efforts. Attendees are encouraged to organize their own informal discussion sessions; submit proposals for presentations and posters; and volunteer on site.
