Wikipedia @ Lift09

Two years ago, Florence Devouard, the former chair of the Board of the Wikimedia Foundation (the non-profit entity that owns the very popular open-source online encyclopedia Wikipedia) and now member of the Advisory Board of Wikimedia Foundation. She gave an insightful presentation about the Wikipedia that she ended with the important issue of the platform's sustainability. The computing costs at that time had gone up substantially and it led them to referring to the pressing need for the foundation (as a nonprofit organization) to find funds.

Florence will be back at Lift09 and give a brief talk on the current (and much improved) situation of Wikipedia.
