Wikimedia Conference is an annual meeting of Wikimedia chapters, user groups and thematic organizations. During this meeting Wikimedians talk, exchange ideas, learn and search for new ways to cooperate. This year the conference took place in Berlin from Friday, April 22, through Sunday, April 24. The local and international coordinators of CEE Spring 2016 were also there to tell the wiki-world about the contest, to talk about challenges and results. And to find new ways to grow. Take a quick peek at the goings-on related to our presence at WMCON 2016.
