Ive read that Wikimania 2009 will take place both in English and Spanish. Does that mean that I, who don speak Spanish, will just miss half of the conference?
Not at all. Following the multilingual spirit of Wikimedia projects and aiming to encourage full participation from the big Hispanophone community we’ve decided to allow those who don’t feel confident speaking English to get involved in their native language. This said, we know well that Wikimania is a conference of international nature and an important part of its attendance doesn’t happen to speak Spanish. That’s why most of the presentations delivered in Spanish will count with simultaneous translation into English —we guarantee this for all keynotes and as many regular presentations as possible. In short, international attendees will be able to participate in the vast majority of activities.
