Team and Volunteers
Please see also: Translation team and Acknowledgement.
Both previous Wikimania conferences succeeded through the efforts of our many conference volunteers. There were positions open for both local and non-local volunteers. We encourage every Wikimania 2007 conference attendee to consider helping make this year's community even more successful.
