The future of #Wikipedia is young

At the decennial Wikipedia party in Amsterdam, a mother brought her two sons and a friend. They did the kids things and they were good at it. So in order to heighten their enthusiasm for the proceedings, we told them about the box with t-shirts. At that time only the small sizes were left.

As Sue has been saying, we want more women involved in Wikipedia. They may bring their kids when we party, when we get together. It makes us more whole as a community. That and is gives our community a future.


Thanks,

That is awesome. Whoever the photographer is should be commended; all his photos are very nice.

We had some young partiers in other cities too! There are some great pictures of young people at the kite flying in Dhaka, and we had a young editor and his mother at the San Francisco events.
