Once again, Wikimania was wonderful. I gave my scheduled talk on Autonomo.us and network freedom and network services. I also filled in for a few speakers to give a "Zotero for Wikipedians" demo and to say a few words about the BY-SA/FDL work as part of a Creative Commons panel.
Perhaps the most memorable part of the conference was the writing and performance of I Will Revise. A couple days before the conference, a small group of Wikipedians — The Difftones — wrote the song at a karaoke bar in Alexandria. We had a wonderful time leading a room full of lightning talk attendees in song and a final rendition by a massive, fully-packed, stage at the party on the final night!
It’s online on meta.wikimedia.org. You should feel free to revise it, add verses, and improve it!
There’s nothing at the ‘I Will Revise’ links.

Erik Moeller seems to have noticed and undeleted the tracks. Humor is, it turns out, acceptable on meta and in wikis. People just forget it some times. :)
as someone who witnessed it all, the song was great, specially all those folks on the stage singing it without music in the back.
Very good job Benjamin
That sounds like a really fun conference, I hope the ones I will go to will be as cool as that! As a side note, I recommend trying out http://www.mendeley.com as an alternative to zotero.
