Wikimania, Wikimedia's first international conference in August 2005 was a milestone in the history of Wikimedia. Organized entirely by volunteers from within the community, the event was greeted enthusiastically by the media and the 400 participants from 50 countries around the world. Such a conference was only possible thanks to the help of corporate sponsors: [http://www.answers.com Answers.com], [http://www.socialtext.com Socialtext], [http://www.sun.com/ Sun Microsystems], [http://www.doccheck.de/ DocCheck], [http://www.logos.it Logos] and others. So we are especially happy to receive their gratulations:

Bob Rosenschein, CEO of Answers.com:
:''congratulations for a remarkable event. We're proud to be associated with you, and keep up the great work on a landmark system which, history will record, changed the face of modern content.''
and Ross Mayfield, CEO of Socialtext comments on Wikimania:
:''When good people come together great things happen. Behind all the content there is a vibrant community. It was wonderful to participate in the event, share what's happening with enterprise wikis and see new initiatives take root. I also commend you one of the best volunteer-powered conferences ever. Wikimania was the best investment our company has made, bar none, for a greater common future.''

'''[http://www.soros.org/ OSI]''' (Open Society Institute) also sponsored 20 000 dollars to help inviting speakers and visitors from several countries and in particular from Africa and South America.

'''26 May, 2005:''' The popular online encyclopedia Wikipedia, the best-known project of the Wikimedia Foundation, will receive technical support from Kennisnet, thus helping the Foundation to achieve its goal of improving the capacity and responsiveness of Wikipedia. The agreement was reached to promote the shared values and educational objectives of Kennisnet and the Wikimedia Foundation.

To mark this cooperation, Kennisnet will be present with the Wikimedia Foundation at the Holland Open conference in Amsterdam on May 31st, 2005 (www.hollandopen.nl). In his keynote address, Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia and president of the Wikimedia Foundation, will expand on this new partnership.

Kennisnet has found in the Wikimedia Foundation a reliable partner with regard to open content and freely licensed knowledge. The cooperation extends across several projects, including the “Ultimate Wiktionary”, a project for the integration of lexicological content, and a project celebrating the jubilee of Queen Beatrix (www.25jaarbeatrix.kennisnet.nl).
