Tim and I stopped in New York for a few days before it and I rushed back after it for the X|Media|Lab event in Melbourne - it was last year’s event in November which led to me staying in Australia so it was great to be there again. I fitted in a second trip to Brisbane this month, for an Open Innovation Round Table discussion. Next in August, I made a very long trip to Denmark for WikiSym where I gave a keynote on how and why Wikipedia works. Then it was back to Melbourne to talk about Future Directions for Free Content at the Churchill Club (blog post). Mindspillage and Solensean left Wikia this month and Splarka joined as a permanent staff member.

It\'s hard to look at the WikiOhana site to give any comment when I just get that \"Too many connections\" error. I guess my comment on it at the moment is that it needs to be on a server which can handle me opening more than 10 pages (how else can you check recent changes?) :( The project seems a little stalled and I didn\'t know if discussions were going on elsewhere about where to take this (I don\'t follow CommunityWiki). It seems a list at least of which wikis had been welcomed already would be a good place to start, and would both avoid duplication and encourage others to start welcoming users/founders too. Hmm.
